We sometimes end up having a baby who has had HIE , now presenting with obvious delayed developement. The concept of early stimulation is well known We have not had practical experience in treating these children. I know the various institutions which claim absolute recovery. If a member of 99 nicu has had the experience please share with us your knowledge.

Answer to this question is not easy.It depends on timing of the insult,severity,the type of support provided,severity of the other system involvement,extent of brain involvement (by imaging MRI) time taken between the insult and beginning of early stimulation (ie, time taken for stabilization). So it is really a multi-factorial and should be dealt in the same way.
