“La estimulación temprana y el desarrollo de las habilidades motoras en un paciente con encefalopatía hipóxico isquémica”

Abstract

Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is an infrequent problem that can occur in newborns who have suffered asphyxia, hypoxia or ischemia during the perinatal period, according to the OMS is one of the leading causes of death in the world considering the population at risk Term and term newborns, if these neonates survive, have long-term consequences such as cerebral palsy.
