A newborn brain MRI after HIE assesses structural damage from oxygen deprivation during labor. Typically performed between 3 to 10 days of life using Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI), an MRI identifies injury patterns in the basal ganglia, thalamus, or watershed regions. Learn how neuroimaging is combined with continuous EEG and physical exams to guide neonatal care and long-term support.
A Category III fetal heart rate tracing is an abnormal monitoring pattern indicating acute fetal hypoxia and risk of acidemia. Marked by absent baseline variability with recurrent decelerations, bradycardia, or a sinusoidal pattern, Category III traces demand immediate intrauterine resuscitation. Learn how clinical teams respond to Category III tracings and why rapid delivery timing is critical.
Umbilical cord blood gas results measure arterial pH and base deficit to evaluate infant oxygen levels at birth. While normal pH ranges from 7.20 to 7.30, metabolic acidemia (pH < 7.00, base deficit $\ge$ 12 mmol/L) indicates severe fetal stress during labor. Learn how cord gases help diagnose HIE and guide NICU cooling therapy alongside Apgar scores and early brain MRI scans.
