Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a common condition affecting babies and children. The specific prognosis depends on several factors, but normal brain development is often compromised. Treatment options are limited, so ongoing care is required to reduce pain and suffering and optimize health outcomes in this group of patients. Here, we review details of HIE and its impact on the developing brain, as well as therapeutic options and ways to ensure that patients receive the right type and level of care.
