Systemic abnormalities in term infants following perinatal asphyxia: relevance to long-term neurologic outcome

Abstract

This article reviews renal, neurologic, cardiac, and pulmonary abnormalities in the term infant following perinatal asphyxia. The relationship of oliguria to central nervous system abnormalities is discussed, as well as the relationship of current measures of fetal hypoxia and long-term neurologic outcome.
