Current and Potentially New Management Strategies for Perinatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy

Robert C. Vannucci MD1

1 From the Division of Pediatric Neurology, The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, The Pennsylvania State University, Hershey

Given the current dilemma in the brain-oriented therapy of newborn infants sustaining cerebral hypoxia-ischemia, it is not surprising that management strategies vary widely among neonatal intensive care units.9 Thus, there is no uniform standard of care, and it remains for future research to uncover new and effective modes of therapy for the neurologically compromised infant. Prevention, or at least optimal management, of prepartum and intrapartum asphyxia remains the best available means of reducing the incidence and severity of peninatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.
