Patient's question:
My friend was in danger of suffocation when giving birth because the baby inhaled amniotic fluid. After emergency treatment, she is now out of danger, but the baby is still in the hospital. My friend is very anxious. I would like to ask, when does asphyxia in babies usually occur?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the child's vital signs are stable and there are no discomforts, they can be discharged. However, if the child has experienced hypoxia, it may lead to some developmental delays. This condition is quite common among babies. After discharge, the main focus is to monitor for any developmental delays. Regular follow-up check-ups at larger hospitals in the local area are recommended.
