We have recently heard relatively little about the causes(s) of CP. I have discovered a paper in the Proceedings of the VIIth International Congress in Hyperbaric Medicine held in Moscow in 1981.

"HBO in the Treatment of Asphyxia in New-born Infants
Delivered by Caesarean Section.

E.A.Lantsev Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Leningrad, USSR.

The effect of HBO was studied on 87 on new-born infants delivered in asphyxia by caesarean section. HBO was started within 5 minutes of birth. For the first 15 minutes at a pressure of 3 ata , then at 1.5-1.3 ata for 1.5-2 hours. The long-term results were followed in 33 infants for 3-10 years. In only one child, at the age of 3.5 years, was epilepsy and deaf-mutism revealed. The remaining children developed normally. The inclusion of HBO in the resuscitation of infants delivered by caesarean section with asphyxia greatly reduces the consequences of neonatal asphyxia.
