The basic physiological variable in hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury is cerebral oxygen delivery. When oxygen delivery becomes insufficient to meet the cellular demands for oxygen, a sequence of biochemical events will be triggered leading to cell death. High levels of CBF following severe birth asphyxia is now well documented by Doppler ultrasound which has been shown to be a useful prognostic indicator following birth asphyxia. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is of great potential value since it may be used at the bed-sid and allows to measure the cerebral blood volume and the concentrations of cytochrome aa3. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allows noninvasive assessment of cerebral metabolism in asphyxiated neonates. 31P MRS has demonstrated that birth asphyxia leads to delayed impairment of cerebral energy metabolism and is predictive of later neurodevelopmental outcome. 1H MRS has shown lactate accumulation and a later decline in N-acetyl aspartate concentration.
