What are the symptoms of mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

Because hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can be mild or severe, we should also pay attention to the treatment methods. Especially if this disease occurs in infancy, the harm it may cause is relatively serious and may even cause cerebral palsy, so it needs to be discovered and treated in time.

1. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is damage to hypoxic-ischemic brain cells caused by respiratory distress syndrome. It can be mild or severe. Mild cases will not have any sequelae after active treatment. Some patients with severe cases will have sequelae even with active treatment, which is the common cerebral palsy. The occurrence of cerebral palsy depends on the degree of hypoxia and the scope of damage, as well as whether the parents discover and treat the disease in a timely manner, the degree of treatment persistence, and the child's subsequent recovery.

2. Usually, the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is to use drugs that nourish brain cells to promote their recovery, such as: brain protein hydrolysate (cerebrolysin), ganglioside (which has the effect of repairing nerve damage), nerve growth factor (which has the effect of promoting regeneration and growth), etc. These are all drugs with very good therapeutic effects at present; supplemented with pediatric hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it helps the recovery of brain damage. If problems are discovered early during treatment, the effect of auxiliary treatment such as rehabilitation training, individual occupational therapy, hydrotherapy, etc. will be very objective.

3. Current treatment focuses on the early stages, that is, the early stages of brain nerve damage and the period when a child's brain develops the fastest. The best methods and the best drugs are given during this period. It can avoid and alleviate the occurrence of cerebral palsy symptoms. The best period is 1-3 months, followed by 4-6 months, and then 7-12 months. The effect is very poor when the child is over 1 year old. The development of brain nerves has the characteristic of being outdated and not being repaired. In fact, the treatment and repair of various brain injuries should be done in the early stages. If the time is too long, sequelae will have formed and the possibility of repair will be small, so you must not be careless. No matter how much money you have, it will be useless if you miss this period.
