Preserving brain function during neonatal asphyxia.

Presently, there is no intervention that can be used that preserves brain function in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. This review covers the interventional strategies that are available to the health care worker at present and suggests a different approach to this frustrating problem. The proposal is to use clinically available interventions and combine them into an effective intervention strategy. The merits of each intervention is discussed.
