Question
Symptoms and treatment progress of neonatal hypoxemia-ischemic encephalopathy.
Answer
Neonatal hypoxemia-ischemic encephalopathy refers to brain damage caused by infant aspiration and insufficient cerebral blood flow. It is characterized by brain edema, softening, necrosis, and hemorrhage. The disease can lead to a series of severe complications, including epilepsy, intellectual disability, and vision impairment. Treatment usually involves supportive therapies such as respiratory assistance, temperature control, infection prevention, and neuroprotective therapy. According to reports, a baby presented with symptoms of coma and seizures on October 27, 2009, with a white blood cell count (WBC) of 800 and a computerized tomography scan showing brain edema. The baby is currently undergoing treatment, with muscle strength at level 1 on October 29, 2009, still in a coma state.
