The use of erythropoetin – drugs that have previously been considered potentially accepted to protect the brain of the newborn by a serious oxygen or blood source lack during birth – do not reduce mortality or disability level. This result was given by an international scientist team. Reporting this Pediatric Academic Associations (PAS).
The study showed that the risk of death in children who have undergone erythropocein, hypoxic and Healic encephalopathy (GIE) at high doses of combination with the standard procedure of cooling the baby’s body did not reduce child cerebral paralysis and physical or cognitive disorders.
GIE is usually a serious damage to the brain that occurs due to lack of oxygen and blood flow due to disorders during delivery or placenta studies. This is one of the most dangerous complications of the perinatal period.
Scientists watched 311 babies with the diagnosis of GIE born after the 35th week of pregnancy in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. The results of children who are two years old were compared in two groups: one is only body cooling, the second is in combination with erythropoietin.
Professor Helen Lily, one of the authors of the study of the study, said, “Our results confirms the research data of Heal 2022 under the leadership of Dr. Ivonn Wu, which there is no benefit from erythropoet during cooling,” he said. “With the previous data, this study questioned the optimism caused by early studies for intensive care of newborns, especially in the context of limited access countries.”
According to experts, in developed medical countries, GIE explains one to five cases per 1000 newborn. In insufficient prenatal care areas, frequency is much higher.
Scientists emphasize that the treatment of effective prevention, early detection and hypoxic brain damage in newborns continues to be an extremely important neonatology aspect.
