While not all cases of HIE can be prevented, certain strategies can reduce the risk, including:
Adequate prenatal care: Regular check-ups to monitor the health of the mother and fetus. Monitoring high-risk pregnancies: Close observation of pregnancies with identified risk factors. Timely intervention during labor: Prompt response to complications during delivery, such as cesarean section if necessary. Maternal health management: Controlling conditions like hypertension and diabetes during pregnancy.
Overall, understanding and managing the risk factors associated with HIE is crucial for improving outcomes for affected newborns.
