This thesis embarks on an in-depth exploration of early diagnosis and intervention strategies for neonatal brain injury, underscoring their pivotal role in augmenting neonatal survival quality and mitigating long-term sequelae. Initially, the paper surveys the primary classifications and underlying causes of neonatal brain injuries, encompassing hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intracranial hemorrhage, and cerebral palsy, while meticulously dissecting the potential ramifications of these injuries on neonatal development and quality of life. Subsequently, it presents tailored intervention strategies for various types of brain injuries, encompassing pharmacological treatment, temperature modulation, physical rehabilitation, and nutritional sustenance, emphasizing the indispensable significance of personalized treatment plans in enhancing prognosis. Furthermore, the paper underscores the quintessential importance of multidisciplinary team collaboration, highlighting the indispensable contributions of professionals across various domains in assessing and fostering neonatal development. Ultimately, it advocates for augmented investment in research endeavors on early diagnosis and intervention for neonatal brain injury within clinical practice, aiming to reduce the incidence of brain injury in the future and provide more effective support and guidance to affected families.
