The unresponsiveness of the full-term newborn is sometimes attributed to asphyxia, even when no severe physiologic disturbance occurred during labor and delivery. The controversy about whether to use the name "hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy" or "newborn encephalopathy" has recently flared in publications directed toward pediatricians and neurologists. In this clinic opinion piece, I discuss the importance to obstetricians of this decision and explain why "newborn encephalopathy" should be the default term.
有时，足月新生儿的无反应性归因于窒息，即使在分娩期间没有发生严重的生理紊乱。最近，在面向儿科医生和神经科医生的出版物中，关于使用“缺氧缺血性脑病”还是“新生儿脑病”这一名称的争议愈演愈烈。在这篇临床观点文章中，我讨论了这一决策对产科医生的重要性，并解释了为什么“新生儿脑病”应该是默认术语。
