Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Intracranial hemorrhageOnset time: 1 day
Laboratory test results: Low albumin, high bilirubin
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Currently using albumin
Doctor's answer:
Intracranial hemorrhage in newborns is a common and serious disease, with subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhages being the most frequent. If treated promptly, it can often heal on its own. Generally, the following treatment measures are adopted:1. Prevent skin breakdown, keep warm, maintain quietness, avoid movement, provide oxygen, prevent harsh crying to reduce skin breakdown, and concentrate on nursing and treatment. Pay attention to keeping the airway clear. For those without vomiting, elevate the upper body by 15–30 degrees to reduce intracranial pressure. For those with vomiting, lie flat with the head turned to one side to prevent aspiration, and feeding via a nasogastric tube is preferred.
2. Symptomatic treatment: For agitation and convulsions, gentle skin breakdown can be induced. Chlorpromazine and sodium phenobarbital should be administered for treatment.
