Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a dangerous condition that happens when your brain doesn’t get enough blood and oxygen. It’s common among newborns who experience a difficult birth. It can be fatal or cause permanent brain damage in severe cases.
Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury most often results from insults such as cardiac arrest, vascular catastrophe, poisoning (such as carbon monoxide intoxication or drug overdose), or head trauma. While many patients expire without recovering awareness, improved techniques in resuscitation and artificial life support have resulted in greater numbers ...
Severe anemia, systemic hypotension, and systemic hypoxia can result in hypoxic brain injury if left untreated. In the United States, cardiac arrest is the most common cause of hypoxic brain injury. Other causes include traumatic vascular injuries, near-drowning, smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning, shock, including hemorrhagic and ...
What is hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy? Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an umbrella term for a brain injury that happens before, during, or shortly after birth when oxygen or blood flow to the brain is reduced or stopped.
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a type of brain dysfunction (brain injury) that occurs when the brain experiences a decrease in oxygen or blood flow. HIE can occur before birth, during labor and delivery or after birth.
Objectives: Assess the presentation of a patient with anoxic encephalopathy. Identify the evaluation of a patient with anoxic encephalopathy. Evaluate the treatment and management options available for anoxic encephalopathy. Communicate interprofessional team strategies for improving care and outcomes in patients with anoxic encephalopathy.
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a type of brain injury. It occurs when the baby’s brain doesn't receive enough oxygen or blood flow. Hypoxic = not enough oxygen. Ischemic = not enough blood flow. Encephalopathy = brain disorder. HIE is caused by a problem during labor and delivery.
Perinatal asphyxia, more appropriately known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), is characterized by clinical and laboratory evidence of acute or subacute brain injury due to...
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in adults and older children (i.e. not neonates), also known as global hypoxic-ischemic injury, is seen in many settings and often has devastating neurological sequelae.
Despite major advances in monitoring technology and knowledge of fetal and neonatal pathologies, perinatal asphyxia or, more appropriately, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), remains a...
