Cerebral Palsy - Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

Hypoxcic Ischemic Encephalopathy describes a condition which leads to permanent neurological disorders in babies.  The term derives from three medical words:  hypoxia which means decreased oxygen; ischemia which refers to a decrease in the flow of blood to the baby's brain; and encephalopathy – which literally means disease of the head. H. I. E. is thus a disease which results from decreased blood flow and decreased oxygen and to the baby's brain.

There are several causes of H.I.E.   One way you it occurs – is when there is a problem with the umbilical cord.  The umbilical cord connects the baby to the mother through the placenta.  By the same token, H.I.E. can also be caused when there is a problem with the  since the placenta is the organ that supplies the blood flow, nutrients and the oxygen in uterio.  When there is a malfunction in the placenta a decrease in the flow of oxygen to the baby's brain will result in permanent damage.
