Diagnosis of HIE typically involves a combination of clinical assessment and diagnostic tests. Healthcare providers may use:
Apgar score: A quick assessment of a newborn's health at 1 and 5 minutes after birth. Blood gas analysis: To measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. Neuroimaging: Techniques like MRI and CT scans to assess brain injury. Electroencephalogram (EEG): To monitor brain activity and detect seizures.
