Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of cerebral palsy include avoiding preterm birth, avoiding complicated delivery and avoiding head trauma in the neonate.
Primary Prevention
During pregnancy
- Avoiding preterm birth is the main preventive measure against cerebral palsy.[1]
- Vaccination against common infection that might lead to premature birth such as German measles.
- Avoiding cigarette smoking, alcohol, and drugs during pregnancy.
- Magnesium sulfate is proven to decrease the risk of cerebral palsy in the women predisposed to preterm delivery.
During delivery
- Proper monitoring of fetal and mother vitals during delivery.[2]
- Early detection of the factors that might contribute complicated delivery such as narrow pelvis.
- Delayed separation of the umbilical cord especially after complicated deliveries.
After delivery
- Ensuring proper ventilation and brain perfusion.
- Treatment of the underlying cause if possible.
- Avoiding head trauma.
