Abstract
There has been a great deal written on asphyxial brain damage in the full-term newborn; both animal experiments and clinical observation have shown that all degrees of damage, from mild to severe, can be the consequence of perinatal asphyxia. However the selection of cases included in studies of perinatal asphyxia and prediction of outcome has not been satisfactory because of the poor delineation of causative circumstances and the non-specific definition of the resulting hypoxic-ischaernic encephalopathy. Certainly asphyxia is bad for the full-term brain, the question is how bad?
