What is Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)?

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a type of brain injury that occurs when the brain does not receive enough oxygen, or blood flow, for a period of time. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy brain damage in infants may occur during labor and delivery due to medical negligence.
