Aim & Claim

th
• Familiar with the pathogenesis of birth asphyxia
• Hold of Apgar score & ABCDE resuscitation
• Familiar with the complication of severe asphyxi
a
Definition
Birth asphyxia is defined as a reduction of oxy
gen delivery and an accumulation of carbon diox
ide owing to cessation of blood supply to the fetu
s around the time of birth.
This is pathologic condition referred to neonate
who have no spontaneous breathing or represen
ted irregular breathing movement after birth. Usu
ally caused by perinatal hypoxia. It is emergency
condition and need quickly treatment (resuscitati
on ,复苏 ).
Etiology
Pathologically, any factors which interfere wi
th the circulation between maternal and fetal blo
od exchange could result in the happens of perin
atal asphyxia. These factors can be maternal fac
tor, delivery factor and fetal factor.
Etiology—High Risk Factors
• Maternal factor:
hypoxia, anemia, diabetes, hypertension, smoking,
nephritis, heart disease, too old or too young,etc
• Delivery condition:
Abruption of placenta, placenta previa, prolapsed
cord, premature rupture of membranes,etc
• Fetal factor:
Multiple birth, congenital or malformed fetus,etc
Pathophysiology
When fetal asphyxia happens, the body wil
l show a self-defended mechanism which redi
stribute blood flow to different organs called “i
nter-organs shunt” in order to prevent some i
mportant organs including brain, heart and ad
renal from hypoxic damage.
Pathophysiology(I)
Hypoxic cellular damages:
a. Reversible damage(early stage):
Hypoxia may decrease the production of
ATP, and result in the cellular functions . But
these change can be reversible if hypoxia is
reversed in short time.
b. Unreversible damage:
If hypoxia exist in long time enough, the cellular
damage will become unreversible that means eve
n if hypoxia disappear but the cellular damages ar
e not recovers. In other words, the complications
will happen.
Pathophysiology(II)
Asphyxia development:
a. Primary apnea breathing stop but normal muscular tone or hypertonia
(肌张力增高) , tachycardia (quick heart rate), and hypertension
Happens early and shortly, self-defended mechanism ,could not be damage to organ functions if corrected quickly
b. Secondary apnea
Features of severe asphyxia or unsuccessful
resuscitation, usually result in damage of organs
function.
Pathophysiology(III)
Other damages:
a. Persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN)
b. Hyper/hypoglycemia
c. Hyperbilirubinemia
Clinic manifestations
Fetal asphyxia
fetal heart rate: tachycardia bradycardia
fetal movement: increase decrease
amniotic fluid: meconium-stained
Clinic manifestations
• Apgar score:
A: appearance(skin color)
P: pulse(heart rate)
G: grimace(reactive ability)
A: activity(muscular tension)
R: respiration
APGAR score
Score 0 1 2
Heart rate none <100 > 100
Respiration none irregular regular
Muscle tone limp reduced normal
Response to none grimaced cough
stimulation
Color of trunk white blue pink
Degree of asphyxia:
Apgar score 8~10: no asphyxia
Apgar score 4~8: mild/cyanosis asphyxia
Apgar score 0~3: severe/pale asphyxia
Clinic manifestations
Complications:CNS: HIE, ICH
RS: MAS, RDS, pulmonary hemorrhage
CVS: heart failure, cardiac shock
GIS: NEC, stress gastric ulcer
Others: hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia (低钙血症) , hyponatremia (低钠血症)
Diagnosis
1/ Evidence of fetal distress
2/ Fetal metabolic acidosis
3/ Abnormal neurological state
4/ Multiorgan involvement
Management
• ABCDE resuscitation
• A (air way)
• B (breathing)
• C (circulation)
• D (drug)
• E (evaluation)
Airway
1/ open by placing the head in the neutral position
2/ clean up completely amniotic fluid from the airway b
y suction with syringe ( 注射器) as soon as possib
le
3/ if meconium-stained, tracheal catheter (气管插管)
should be placed to ensure meconium to be remove
d
Breathing
1/ ensure face mask covers nose & mouth con
nect to oxygen bag
2/ establish respiration of 30-40/min with chest
wall movement
3/ if no response, intubation & mechanic ventil
ation (通气) is necessary
Circulation
1/ if heart rate <60/bpm, start external cardiac compression with fingers
2/ ratio 3:1 ( 90 compressions to 30
bpm)
Drugs
1/ if profound bradycardia (心动过缓) , give adrenaline(肾上腺素) (1:10000, 0.1-0.3ml/kg) by endotracheal(气管内) tube or umbilical vein
2/ if no response, intravenous fluid (saline, albumin, plasma, blood) with 10ml/kg
3/ if acidosis, give 5% sodium bicarbonate (SB) with 3-5ml/kg
4/ if bradypnea, consider using naloxone (纳洛酮) (0.1mg/kg)
Evaluation
Evaluate the result of resuscitation to
determine if more rescue necessary:
– If not good, repeat the resuscitation
– If good, transmit baby to NICU
Remember
In the whole resuscitation,
the most important step is A ---
clean up completely the airway
Part II Hypoxic Ischemic
Encephalopathy (HIE)
( 新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病 )
Aim & Claim
• Familiar with the severity of HIE
• Familiar with the management of HIE
Definition
The brain damage after perinatal asphy
xia and the most severe condition showed
high mortality or remain cerebral complicati
ons such as mental retardation & cerebral
palsy.
Clinically, more term babies suffered
from this disease than premature
babies.
Pathologically, more premature
babies suffered from this disease
than term babies.
Etiology & Pathology
• Etiology
The most and direct cause of HIE is perina
tal asphyxia.
• Pathology
Pathophysiology
• Cerebral blood flow
early stage: normal (intraorgans shunt)
then slow down (selective vulnerability)
finally ischemia
• Cerebral metabolism
Clinic Manifestation
The clinic features of HIE are mainl
y symptoms of consciousness which u
sually represent in tow types:
Excitation: hyperalert (激惹) , irritable, hyperto
nia, tachycardia, tachypnea, seizure, etc
Depressing: coma, hypotonia, bradycardia, brad
ypnea, unresponsibility, etc
Classification—Clinic
• Mild(stage I): hyperalert, irritable, normal muscular to
ne & reflex, no seizure, normal EEG
• Moderate(stage II): lethargy, hypotonia, weak suckin
g & Moro response, often seizure, EEG+
• Severe(stage III): coma, absent muscular tone & refl
ex, persistent seizure, EEG++
Classification—CT
• Stage I(normal): no hypodensity (低密度)
• Stage II(mild): local or patchy hypodensity
• Stage III(moderate): hypodensity in tow area of brain or more,
usually no hemorrhage
• Stage IV(severe): extensive & generalized hypodensity, usually
combined with brain hemorrhage
轻度:散在或局限性低密度改变,在 2 个脑叶以内
中度 : 低密度改变超过 2 个脑叶,灰白质对比模糊
中度不伴出血中度不伴出血
中度伴出血中度伴出血
重度 : 弥漫性低密度改变, 灰白质界限消失,脑室受压。 中、重度 HIE 常伴 ICH 。
颅内出血
Management(I)
Generalized treatment:
– Ventilation: CPAP, CMV, HFOV
– Circulation: Dopamine( 多巴胺) /Dobutamine (多巴酚丁胺)
– Energy: normal glucose
– Fluid: restriction < 60-80ml/kg/d
Management(II)
Control of seizures:
– Phenobarbital( 苯巴比妥 ):
loading dose 15-20mg/kg, iv
maintenance dose 3-5mg/kg, iv
– Diazepam( 安定 ): 0.1-0.3mg/kg, iv
– Chloralhydrate( 水合氯醛 ): 50mg/kg, E
Management(III)
Cerebral edema & high pressure

– Mannitol( 甘露醇 ): 0.5g/kg, iv, q8-12h
– Albumin( 白蛋白 ): 0.5-1.0g/kg, iv
Prognosis
Depend on the severity of brain damage & m
edical treatment, usually:
Mild or moderate cases could be cured completely, but s
evere cases represent poor prognosis with high mortality
or cerebral complications such as mental retardation & c
erebral palsy.
Prevention
• Perinatal healthy care
• Prevention of asphyxia
Part III
Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH)( 颅内出血 )
Aim & Claim
• Familiar with the etiology of ICH
• Familiar with the characterastic of all types
of ICH
Introduction
The intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is
one of the most common and dangerous
disease with very high mortality &
disability rate in alive cases.
• The morbidity is higher in premature infants than in te
rm ones.
• There are differing etiology and varying prognosis. Wi
th improvement in perinatal care, there have be consi
derable improvement in survival recently.
Etiology & Pathology
Vessels factor Pressure factor
ICH
Injury factor Other factors
(Vit K deficiency, maternal medication, thrombopenia, etc)
Etiology & PathologyVessels factors
• Premature vessels of neonate especially in
preterm babies is vulnerable to damage
Etiology & Pathology Pressure factor
Any change of blood pressure could
interfere with the cerebral circulation
and break the blood vessels
Etiology & PathologyInjury factor
• Any injury during the delivery may
break the blood vessels
Etiology & PathologyOther factors
• Deficiency of vitamin K
• Maternal bleeding or thrombocytopenia (血小板减少

hargy, no crying, coma
SAH

and locations. High mortality and
instabilities.
Prevention
Prenatal care
Prevention of asphyxia & birth injury
Summery
Neonatal asphyxia and its complication (HI
E, ICH) are the most dangerous conditions
clinically with high mortality and incidence
of poor neurological outcome
