Patient's question:
Many babies may experience asphyxiation symptoms at birth. They cannot breathe independently within one minute. This phenomenon is very common and widespread. It should be taken seriously. If rescue is not timely, it can even lead to the death of the child. We hope to draw everyone's attention.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal asphyxia refers to a condition caused by various etiologies during prenatal, intrapartum, or postnatal periods, leading to fetal hypoxia and resulting in intrauterine distress or respiratory and circulatory disorders during the delivery process. It is characterized by the absence of spontaneous breathing or the failure to establish regular breathing within the first minute after birth, primarily involving pathological and physiological changes such as hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. Severe asphyxia is one of the major causes of neonatal disability and mortality. Neonatal asphyxia is the most common emergency condition after birth. Active resuscitation and proper management are essential to reduce neonatal mortality and prevent long-term sequelae.
