Abstract
In this article, the authors examine whether indicators commonly used to recognized birth asphyxia are specific to asphyxial states, and whether these allow recognition of a severity of asphyxia sufficient to pose a risk of irreversible brain injury. Characteristics recognizable within the first hours after birth are focused on because these characteristics will be of most use in clinical decisions regarding use of potential new therapies for asphyxia.
