Introduction[edit | edit source]

Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a condition in which injury to the brain of neonate occur following deprivation of oxygen supply to brain. [1]It is the common cause of neonate mortality and developmental psychomotor disorders in the pediatric worldwide.[2]

Attributing neonatal encephalopathy to perinatal hypoxic–ischemic injury requires combinations of parameters indicative of metabolic acidosis in the first postnatal hours with low cord pH (<7.0), base deficit of over 12, and evidence of a need for respiratory support also starting in the first minutes, with low Apgar scores at and beyond 5 min.

Epidemiology[edit | edit source]

  • The incidence of HIE is ~1–8 per 1,000 live births in technically advanced countries and is up to 26 per 1,000 live births in less developed countries.[2]

Clinical Presentation/manifestation[edit | edit source]

Fetal asphysia:

Meconium stained liquor:

APGAR score

Seizure

tone



Classification of HIE[edit | edit source]

There are three classification system of HIE

  • Levene
  • Sarnat and Sarnat staging
  • Thompson scoring

Complication[edit | edit source]

Outcome measures[edit | edit source]

Investigations[edit | edit source]

  • EEG
  • Cranial ultrasound
  • CT scan
  • MRI

Management / Interventions[edit | edit source]

Medical Management[edit | edit source]

  • Therapeutic Cerebral Hypothermia
    • Hypothermia is a proven effective treatment of HIE and can improve survival and long-term prognosis of children. It has been suggested that hypothermia treatment of HIE should start within 6 hours after hypoxia ischemia.
  • Medications

Physiotherapy Management[edit | edit source]

Prognosis[edit | edit source]

Depending upon the severity of brain damage and medical treatment, usally:

Mild or moderate cases could be cured completely, but severe cases represent poor prognosis with high mortality or cerebral complications such as mental retardation and cerebral palsy.

Overall mortality: 20%

Overall incidence of sequel: 30%

Mild: 100% good prognosis

Moderate: 80% normal

Severe: 50 5 death , 50% sequel

Presence of seizure increases chance of cerebral palsy by 50-70 times

Prevention[edit | edit source]

  • Better obstetric care
  • Skilled resuscitation teams and neonatal facilities

Differential Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
