Hypoxic-ischemic injury (HII)

Hypoxic-ischemic injury (HII) causes brain swelling that restricts the flow of oxygen through the blood, glucose and other nutrients. These injuries can be compounded by other injuries to the body, which further reduces the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream to the lungs. Patients with HII and DAI face a poor prognosis and typically experience memory problems and cognitive impairment.
