Core Tip The indicators of good prognosis in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) are: An early return of continuous and reactive electroencephalogram, low blood levels of neuron specific enolase, absence of diffusion changes in brain magnetic resonance imaging, good functional status, and Coma Remission Scale scores of 8 and more. The treatment consists of maintaining systemic perfusion, treatment of the underlying cause of the hypoxia, and prevention of ongoing brain injury. HIBI is a major cause of mortality and the outcome after survival may vary from persistent vegetative state to neuropsychiatric disabilities.
