Perinatal asphyxia I: Pathogenesis of multisystemic sequelae. 1979

A K Fomufod, and F Rahbar, and P L White, and A Z Holloway, and S R Rampersaud, and L A Henry

This paper describes the clinical and pathologic sequelae of perinatal asphyxia manifested by 17 neonates treated at Howard University Hospital over an 18-month period. Multiple systemic complications, occurring in 76.5 percent of the patients, were the rule rather than the exception. All vital organs were involved, singly or in combination. Understanding the pathogenesis and extent of these complications is of utmost importance not only to those rendering health care to acutely ill newborns, but also to those responsible for prenatal and maternal intrapartum care.
