Babies born at less than 37 weeks gestation (premature) have different nutritional needs than babies born at full term (after 38 weeks). Premature babies will often stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. There they are watched closely to make sure they are getting the right balance of fluids and nutrition.
Watershed Stroke. Watershed strokes. are usually the result of poor blood flow to the brain from occlusion of the arteries in the neck (from atherosclerosis) or periods of poor cardiac function, such as during a heart attack.
What Happens During a Stroke? Strokes usually occur because of a disruption of blood flow to the brain. This causes death of the brain cells as they do not get the nutrients and oxygen they need to live. If the blood supply is not restored quickly enough, serious or even unrecoverable damage could happen to the brain.
