Patient's question:
What are the treatment methods for infant asphyxia? If a baby chokes, what is the first-line handling measure? As a postpartum woman, what should I do to prevent such incidents from happening? What precautions should be taken on a daily basis? I would like to ask how to handle infant asphyxia?Doctor's answer:
Infant asphyxia refers to a disease characterized by hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. It is caused by various reasons of hypoxia before, during, or after birth, or respiratory circulatory disorders during delivery, leading to fetal distress. Inability to breathe independently or establish normal breathing within one minute after birth. Postnatally, the first step is aerobic support therapy, including nasal aspiration, mask oxygen, or even ventilator oxygen.
