  • Title: Birth asphyxia and the neonatal brain: what do we know and when do we know it?
    Author: Nelson KB, Emery ES.
    Journal: Clin Perinatol; 1993 Jun; 20(2):327-44. PubMed ID: 8358954.
    Abstract:
    In this article, the authors examine whether indicators commonly used to recognized birth asphyxia are specific to asphyxial states, and whether these allow recognition of a severity of asphyxia sufficient to pose a risk of irreversible brain injury. Characteristics recognizable within the first hours after birth are focused on because these characteristics will be of most use in clinical decisions regarding use of potential new therapies for asphyxia.
