The treatment of neonates with ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy due to intrauterine hypoxia and obstructed labor mainly includes supportive therapy, symptomatic treatment, and subcooling therapy. 1. Supportive therapy: Neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy should be corrected with hypoxemia, such as simple mask oxygen, invasive mechanical ventilation or non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Hypotensive children are elevated with dopamine and dobutamine. Children with hypoglycemia are supplemented with glucose to maintain blood glucose in the normal range. 2. Symptomatic treatment: neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy may present with different symptoms, such as convulsions controlled with drugs such as phenobarbital, chloral hydrate and diazepam. Cerebral edema occurs to avoid excessive fluid infusion, use mannitol to reduce intracranial pressure and so on. 3. Sub-hypothermia treatment: moderate and severe full-term children with neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy, sub-hypothermia treatment within 6 hours of the onset of the disease, artificial induction methods to reduce body temperature by 2~5 ℃, reduce the brain’s energy consumption, thereby protecting brain cells. Neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy should be treated in regular hospitals to reduce the occurrence of sequelae. The use of medication should follow the doctor’s instructions.
