Patient's question:
A few days before giving birth, the mother again developed preeclampsia. Four days after giving birth, the baby was in a coma. Previous treatment and outcomes: The baby was on a ventilator for eight days and has since woken up and can eat. What kind of help is needed: Will the baby have intellectual problems?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy can easily lead to fetal aspiration. How severe aspiration affects brain cells depends on the duration; typically, brain cells suffer irreversible damage after being deprived of oxygen for 6 minutes.Hello! It is difficult to guarantee that the baby is free from brain damage. Please prepare yourself mentally for this possibility. Unconsciousness clearly indicates harm to brain cells.
In addition, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise. This will help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness.
