Criteria defining the involvement of severe perinatal anoxia in neonatal encephalopathy in at-term newborns at birth are stringent and are rarely all present. The simultaneous action of pre- and intrapartum factors preceding neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy are often observed. Cooling is recommended as there is evidence that it reduces mortality without increasing major disability in survivors. It must be conducted following strict clinical and electroencephalographic criteria. Other strategies for brain protection remain difficult to establish. Follow-up must be long enough to detect cognitive deficiencies, which are frequent, even if cerebral palsy is not observed.
