The vast majority of children with cerebral palsy are caused by asphyxia at birth, premature delivery, umbilical cord around the neck, hypoxia, severe jaundice after birth, and brain malformations. Therefore, effective prevention of cerebral palsy in children can be carried out in three stages: prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum
Prenatal protection Pregnant women should be vigilant, actively carry out early prenatal examination, do a good job of perinatal health care, prohibit smoking, drinking, drug abuse, etc., prevent influenza, rubella, Toxoplasma and other viral infections, and do not contact cats, dogs, etc; Avoid contact with harmful and toxic substances such as radiation and frequent B-ultrasonic inspection.
The prevention of fetal asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage caused by delivery during labor is an important cause of cerebral palsy in children. Therefore, we should actively prevent dystocia and premature delivery, and actively cooperate with doctors. The medical staff should carefully deal with all aspects of delivery, and deal with premature and dystocia infants.
Postpartum protection Postpartum should go to a regular hospital for early neonatal nervous system assessment, and establish physical examination files. If children are found to have high risk factors in physical examination, they are considered as "high risk children of cerebral palsy". Especially for premature, asphyxiated and kernicteric children, early treatment is of great significance, because the brain tissue is still in the stage of rapid growth and development in the early infancy (0-6 months), especially in the neonatal period, and the brain injury is also in the primary stage, and abnormal posture and movement have not been fixed. During this period, the brain has great plasticity, high compensatory ability and strong recovery ability, Therefore, we advocate "early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment".
