Patient's question:
The baby's birth score was 7/10, 10/10, and 10/10. Points were deducted for skin color, breathing, and muscle tone. After being transferred to the neonatal department, the heart enzyme test came back at over 1700, with MB enzyme at 142 (except for a 666). After one week of treatment, the heart enzyme dropped to 699, with MB enzyme at 67. The jaundice level was over 200. The doctor said the child might have water in their brain, but no specific detailed examination was conducted. What is the condition of the child? Can they be discharged? The family hasn't been allowed to visit and is very anxious. The child was not fed on the first day, but starting from the third day, they were given 5 mL/2 hours, then 10 mL/2 hours, and on the fourth day, 30 mL/2 hours. During naps, the child's urination and defecation were normal.Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the test results, we have carefully checked to see if the baby has fully recovered. Currently, if you want to be discharged, it is also possible. However, it is best to follow the doctor's advice. The doctor believes that when the best time for discharge arrives, they will inform you of your discharge. Because the baby did not meet all the criteria during birth, there is a possibility in certain aspects! If there is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, the doctor will make a judgment based on the child's symptoms as well as head CT or MRI!
