Pediatric Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury
3:20 PM - 4:15 PMAbstract(s)
Individuals who sustain hypoxic ischemic brain injury during childhood have high rates of neurobehavioral impairments. There are few studies of long-term follow-up. Additionally, published reports describing outcomes more than one year after brain injury are limited to small single center reports and often combine multiple etiologies of hypoxic ischemic injury. In this session, the speaker will describe the existing literature informing our understanding of functional and neuropsychological outcomes in individuals who sustain hypoxic ischemic injury during childhood. Gap areas and ongoing research endeavors will also be discussed.
