Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

 

Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy is a combination of hypoxia - lack of oxygen, decreased oxygen; ischemia – decreased blood flow to the baby's brain; and encephalopathy – ceph means head and pathy means disease.  Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy is a disease of the brain which results from decreased oxygen and decreased blood flow to the baby's brain.

What causes Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy? There are several causes.  One way you can get it – the decreased blood flow and oxygen to the brain is through problems with the umbilical cord.  The umbilical cord is the life-line that connects the baby to the mom through the placenta.  The placenta is another way a child can suffer from Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy in utero, because it too has the ability to provide the oxygen, nutrients and blood flow to the baby's brain or in certain circumstances will have a decrease blood flow or oxygen to the baby's brain.  Weather it is through umbilical cord or placenta problems, the end result is the same:      Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy will lead to a decrease in oxygenation and blood flow to the baby's brain and will cause a permanent neurological disorder.
