How does HIE present?

🔹 Babies and children who experience HIE are typically very, very sick at the time of injury or very soon after. Many experience seizures, floppy muscle tone, lack of respiratory effort, have absent reflexes, and need various forms of life support to stabilize them.

🔹 HIE is the top cause of neonatal seizures.
