Abstract

Objective. To define the role of craniocerebral hypothermia (CCH) in combination therapy for posthypoxic cerebral lesions in children. Subjects and methods. Labor and delivery histories were studied in 46 pregnant women and their babies with birth asphyxia. All the babies underwent CCH in addition to conventional clinical, laboratory, and instrumental studies. Results. There were the following significant risk factors of asphyxia: fat metabolic disturbances, gestosis (preeclampsia), a pathological preliminary period, uterine inertia, premature placental detachment, prolonged pregnancy, and chorioamnionitis. The main causes of asphyxia were umbilical cord abnormalities (41.9%), chronic fetal hypoxia, (25.6%), infection (14.0%), and a combination of these factors and abnormal labor. All the infants survived and they were switched to the second nursing care stage; only 3 (7.0%) babies developed infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP) at the age of 1 year. Conclusion. As compared to conventional therapy, CCHfor babies with birth asphyxia contributes to an increase in the number of healthy infants and to a reduction in the incidence of ICP by 2-2.5 times.
