Abstract

Neonatal encephalopathy is a clinical picture with convulsion, respiratory depression and hypotonia “appeared” in babies born at 35 weeks and after the first month. The clinical picture detected in the cases varies. When hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is suspected clinically, all causes should be evaluated as well as reasons belonging to the mother, the placenta or the child. Many cases that cause medico-legal problems have been reported especially between parents who expect a healthy baby and physicians participating in the delivery process. In this article, it is aimed to develop an algorithm for physicians who medico-legally evaluate HIE, and to gain a standard approach and perspective, by drawing attention to HIE cases that are frequently encountered in forensic medicine practice and claiming medical malpractice for physicians participating in the delivery process

Özet

Yenidoğan ensefalopatisi, 35 hafta ve sonrasında doğan bebeklerde ilk 1 ay içerisinde ortaya çıkan konvülsiyon, solunum depresyonu ve hipotoni ile karakterize klinik bir tablodur. Olgularda saptanan klinik tablo değişkenlik göstermektedir. Hipoksik iskemik ensefalopatiden (HİE) klinik olarak şüphelenildiğinde anneye, plesantaya ya da çocuğa ait nedenler açısından değerlendirme yapılmalı, tüm nedenler incelenmelidir. Özellikle sağlıklı bir bebek beklentisinde olan ebeveynler ile doğum sürecine katılan hekimler arasında mediko-legal sorunlara neden olan birçok olgu bildirilmiştir. Yazıda adli tıp pratiğinde sıklıkla karşılaşılan ve doğum sürecine katılan hekimlere yönelik tıbbi uygulama hatası iddiası bulunan HİE olgularına dikkat çekerek, mediko-legal olarak HİE değerlendirmesi yapan hekimlere yönelik bir algoritma geliştirmek, standart bir yaklaşım ve bakış açısını kazandırmak amaçlanmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Hipoksik iskemik ensefolapati, adli tıbbi yaklaşım
