Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a condition that occurs when the entire brain is deprived of an adequate oxygen supply, but the deprivation is not total. While HIE is associated in most cases with oxygen deprivation in the neonate due to birth asphyxia, it can occur in all age groups, and is often a complication of cardiac arrest.
Symptoms may include vision changes (seeing spots, blurriness, light sensitivity), a headache that won’t go away, shortness of breath, pain in your upper belly, nausea and/or vomiting, decreased ...
An algorithm is used to treat/resuscitate babies in need of respiratory support post-birth.

The order of these interventions is ...
Perinatal asphyxia is the medical condition resulting from deprivation of oxygen to a newborn infant that lasts long enough during the birth process to cause physical harm. [160] Hypoxic damage can also occur to most of the infant's organs ( heart , lungs , liver , gut , kidneys ), but brain damage is of most concern and perhaps the least ...
