Question
Infant with mild hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy, seeking hospital recommendation and applicability of hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Answer
The patient received a 12-day course of treatment at Taihe Hospital immediately after birth, primarily consisting of intravenous fluids and “gangliosides” medication, supplemented by various drugs to nourish brain cells. Before discharge, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed slight brain edema, which the physician assessed as not serious. The patient’s family wishes to transfer to a hospital in Wuhan for further rehabilitation treatment and inquires about the applicability of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Additionally, they hope to obtain the doctor’s contact phone number.
