Brain-orientated intensive care treatment in severe neonatal asphyxia. Effects of phenobarbitone protection.

Abstract: SUMMARYThe effect of applying brain-orientated neonatal intensive care for term infants with severe neonatal asphyxia was studied. Such treatment included protective phenobarbitone administration together with assisted ventilation and other measures to counteract postasphyxial cerebral oedema and any abrupt changes in blood pressure and oxygenation. The mortality rate and incidence of long-term sequelae were reduced appreciably, resulting in a 0-1 year mortality rate of 14% (previously 50%) and an incidence of… Show more

“…L'injection de doses fraction nées n'est pas à retenir car des concentrations efficaces ne sont obtenues qu'après 10 h [13] avec un état d'équilibre retardé au 2e [17] ou 3e jour [7]. De même, une DC inférieure à 20 mg/kg n'apporte pas les mêmes garanties d'efficacité [5,12,13,17].…”

“…Although more general approaches are used to reduce birth asphyxia-induced brain damage such as resuscitation preferably with room air instead of 100% oxygen, which has been proven to aggravate free radical formation [60,61] , and attempts to reduce hypoxia-induced cytotoxic cerebral edema with hypertonic substances like mannitol [62] , a more specific approach to interfere in the potentially destructive molecular pathways induced by reperfusion-induced intracellular activation of excitatory neurotransmitters and enzymes such as the phospholipases, xanthine-oxidase and nitric oxide synthases, are also being investigated in clinical practice. Barbiturates such as phenobarbital and thiopental are used without showing any neuroprotection [63,64] .
