Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of swimming in the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods 48 children with HIE were randomly divided into a control group(received conventional therapy) and an observation group(received swimming basing on conventional treatment).The weight gain and behavior ability scores of the two groups were compared.Results Day 10 and 42 of the treatment,the weight gains of observation group were (3.81 ± 0.53) kg and (4.52 ± 0.68) kg respectively,which were statistically better than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).22 and 23 cases had a behavior ability score over 35 points 14 and 28 days after the treatment in the observation group respectively,which were significantly more than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Swimming in the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is effective and can markedly promote the children's weight gain and nervous system behavioral development.
