How long is my son's hospital stay likely to be if he had hypoxemic ischemic encephalopathy?

Variable: Your baby will need to pass several milestones before discharge. The doctor will want baby to be stable in mutlple areas, breathing, feeding, gaining weight, etc.

HIE: It depends on the age. The premature baby is likely to stay in the hospital for weeks due to the other problems these babies have. After a cardiac arrest or near drowning, several days to few weeks.
