What are the sequelae if an infant does not undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms at birth: Breathing is not smooth at birth...
Onset time: Test results: Brain hypoxia and brain hemorrhage
Previous treatment and effectiveness: The first treatment, now only two days of hyperbaric oxygen therapy have been done. The child has some edema, and it is unknown if it is normal. The hospital does not allow visits, as it seems that patients with similar symptoms in the hospital have already stopped. If it is not done, what kind of sequelae will occur... Because the hospital basically does not allow visits, the situation and effectiveness are not well understood.

Doctor's answer:

High-pressure oxygen therapy is still quite effective for children with brain hypoxia. They should focus on treatment. As for whether or not to use high-pressure oxygen, it's uncertain whether it will leave behind any aftereffects. It depends on the child's specific condition and their overall recovery. Even if high-pressure oxygen is used, it's not guaranteed that there won't be any aftereffects. High-pressure oxygen is just one treatment method. You should follow the advice of the attending physician and absolutely not make the choice yourself, as the child is undoubtedly very young. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
