 Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a neurological syndrome that presents immediately after birth after a perinatal asphytic episode. It occurs due to oxygen deprivation in the brain, arterial hypoxemia or cerebral ischemia, or both. Alterations in alertness characterize it, with decreased ability to awaken and maintain muscle tone, reduced motor responses, and reactivity. HIE is a leading cause of neonatal death and permanent disability. It contributes significantly to the health burden regarding years of life lost and years lived with disability. In addition to the critical role that asphyxia plays in perinatal mortality, it is estimated that over one million newborns who survive it each year develop cerebral palsy, epilepsy, learning disabilities, and other developmental problems. It is currently the only standard therapy for HIE and is a safe and effective intervention for reducing mortality and significant disability in survivors. ·       ...
