Patient's question:
At birth, there was no breathing. After approximately fifteen minutes of rescue efforts, spontaneous breathing gradually established, accompanied by crying. The infant was cyanotic all over, with cold extremities, irregular respiratory rhythm. After forty minutes, assisted oxygen breathing returned to normal···Three days later, the infant could breathe independently, with stable and normal breathing.Laboratory and examination results: Minimal bleeding in the cranial cavity or cerebral edema.
Previous treatment and outcomes: Conventional treatment. Currently, breathing, pulse, and skin color are all normal.
What kind of help is desired: What is the probability of the infant developing cerebral palsy?
Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the child cannot yet confirm the likelihood of suffering from other diseases. It is necessary to observe carefully. Due to the presence of brain edema, it cannot be taken lightly, and hospitalization for close observation is required. Routine diuretic and brain nerve nutrition treatment should be administered. If breathing difficulties or choking reoccur, it cannot be prevented that epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and other possibilities may arise. Therefore, early and active treatment is key.
