A term infant is delivered by emergency cesarean section following the acute onset of maternal vaginal bleeding and profound fetal bradycardia. The Apgar scores are 1, 2, and 3 at 1, 5, and 10 minutes, respectively. Resuscitation includes intubation and assisted ventilation, chest compressions, and intravenous epinephrine. The infant is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and has seizures 6 hours after birth.
Of the following, a TRUE statement about other organ-system injury that may occur in the infant is that:
cardiovascular injury is uncommon
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy usually is an isolated condition
liver injury may result in a coagulopathy
most infants who have seizures develop cerebral palsy
necrotizing enterocolitis does not occur in term infants
