Abstract

With the improvement of survival rate of critically ill neonates, the number of infants at high risk of brain injury has also increased.Clinicians need to recognize infant brain injury and grasp the methods of early identification of infant brain injury.In this paper, different types of infant brain injury and their long-term development outcomes are briefly described, and the early assessment of infant brain injury is introduced from three aspects: clinical history, auxiliary examination and standardized evaluation, thereby providing reference for early intervention and improvement of long-term development outcomes of infants with brain injury.
