Observation on the efficacy of nimodipine in the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

Abstract

 The curative effect was analyzed in 95 cases with neonatal hypoxic is-chemic encephalopathy (HIE) . Two groups were divided at random. 55 cases were treated by nimodipine as curative group, and 40 cases were treated by combining therapy as control. The result showed that effective rate was 98. 18% in curative group and 82. 5% in control group,it was significantly higher in curative group than that in control group ( P 0. 01). The result indicated that using nimodipine to treat neonatal HIE can shorten the course of disease, increase the effective rate and improve the prognosis.
