Journal Title: Здоров`я дитини - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 63
Abstract
In the department of neonatal pathology of Chernivtsi regional children’s clinical hospital, 41 full-term newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy have been examined in order to study the features of early period of their adaptation depending on birth weight. It was found that the early adaptation period of full-term newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and body weight adequate in terms of gestational age was characterized by: pathological delivery in one third (32.1 %) of cases and the birth of one fourth (25 %) of infants with tight nuchal cord that three times more often (22.2 % of neonates) led to severe asphyxia, associated with the development of the multiple organ failure (14.3 % of cases) and seizures (17.9 % of observations). Full-term children with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and body weight low in terms of gestational age are characterized by: lower gestational age (37–39 weeks) at birth (84.6 % of children), which has been associated with young (under 20 years) age of mothers in 15.4 % of cases, and twice as likely (61.5 % of children) led to respiratory disorders at birth, requiring artificial lung ventilation.
