Can Asphyxiated Infants at Risk for Neonatal Seizures Be Rapidly Identified by Current High-risk Markers?

Abstract

A combination of high-risk postnatal markers, specifically, a low 5-minute Apgar score and intubation in the DR in association with severe fetal acidemia, facilitates the identification within the first hour of life of term infants at highest risk for developing seizures secondary to perinatal asphyxia.
