Neonatal cerebral ischaemia - what does this mean
Neonatal cerebral ischaemia is a type of hypoxic-ischemic injury that occurs when the brain of a newborn baby does not receive enough oxygen and/or blood flow. this can occur during or shortly after birth, and can be caused by a number of factors including placental insufficiency, cord compression, or maternal hypotension. it can lead to severe neurological deficits or death if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - neonatal cerebral ischaemia
Neonatal cerebral ischaemia is an injury to the brain caused by a lack of adequate blood flow to the brain during the neonatal period. this can be due to a variety of causes, including thrombosis, embolism, vasospasm, or reduced cardiac output. the resulting lack of oxygen and nutrients to the brain can cause damage to the neurons, leading to a variety of neurological deficits.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Clinical history and physical examination
- Neuroimaging studies (CT/MRI)
- Neurophysiological studies (EEG)
- Cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSF)
- Angiography
- Ultrasound (Doppler)
- Blood tests (blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, etc.)
- Genetic testing
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the risk of long-term neurological damage due to neonatal cerebral ischaemia
- Monitoring of blood pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate
- Administering medications to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow
- Monitoring and controlling blood sugar levels
- Using therapeutic hypothermia to reduce brain damage
- Administering anticonvulsants to control seizures
- Providing respiratory support if needed
- Administering antibiotics to prevent infection
- Performing imaging studies to assess the extent of the injury
- Monitoring for signs of hydrocephalus
- Providing nutritional support
- Performing physical therapy to promote motor development
- Providing emotional support to parents and family members
18 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Neonatal cerebral ischaemia - Prevention
Neonatal cerebral ischaemia can be prevented by ensuring that pregnant women receive proper prenatal care, including regular check-ups, adequate nutrition, and avoiding smoking, alcohol, and drugs. additionally, monitoring of the baby during labor and delivery is important to ensure that the baby is receiving enough oxygen and is not at risk for any complications.
