Clinical and Neurological Features of Cerebral Ischemia in Prema- Ture Newborns

Abstract

Currently, the issues of diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (cerebral ischemia) in premature newborns are relevant all over the world. The frequency of occurrence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is from 2 to 9 cases per 1000 newborns, there are negative consequences: 10–15% – fatal, 25–30% disability. The purpose of the study is to determine the clinical and neurological features of cerebral ischemia of varying severity in premature newborns using the Sarnat scale. As a result of the survey of premature newborns with cerebral ischemia, new data on the clinical and neurological status of premature children were obtained on the Sarnat classification, which can be widely used for further diagnostics and when choosing therapeutic tactics.
