What are the best practices for managing hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) requires immediate intervention to minimize neurological damage. Therapeutic hypothermia has become the standard of care, as it has been shown to improve outcomes. This involves cooling the infantâs body temperature to slow metabolic processes and reduce brain injury. Continuous monitoring and supportive care are also critical components of management.
