Objects: To observe the early prevention effects of touch interventions on term infant with HIE(hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy),evaluate the prevention value of massages and find out a reliable, effective and harmless means for them to prevent from the brain lesion caused by perinatal asphyxiation.Methods: A total of 152 term infants with moderate HIE were divided into touch (n=76) group and control group (n=76) randomly. In the touch group, the newborns received touch 15 minutes a time, once a day for 3 months based on routine treatment and control of seizures. In the control group,the newborns only received routine treatment without massage.When patient stay in hospital, the infant received the massage everyday while the parents were qualified to touch at the same time. When patient get out of hospital, the qualified parents gave them touch continually. NBNA was performed in tow groups before and after touch 3 times respectively. DQ test was performed in both two groups at the age of 3 and 6 months old.Results:1.There was no significant difference on NBNA scores for tow groups at 1-3d after birth ( P>0.05);and NBNA scores of touch group were significant1y and statistically better than that of control group at 12-14d and 26-28d after birth ( P<0.001).2.DQ of the control group was lower than that of the touch group at 3month and 6month. There is significant difference on DQ scores between the two groups.Conclusion: Touch can promote the CNS development of neonate, and it is a kind of simple, effective, harmless early intervention means. Touch interventions to newborn of perinatal asphyxiation with HIE can enhance their growth and decrease their disability rate effectively.
