Patient's question:
After the baby was born for less than a day, he vomited shortly after drinking formula milk. The doctor at the hospital said that the initial vomiting was amniotic fluid, and later he vomited two or three times. The doctor at the hospital diagnosed it as respiratory bleeding. After medication, the doctor said that the baby's condition is currently stable. What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Newborn gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the common clinical emergencies, which can occur in diseases such as stress ulcers, gastric perforation, and necrotizing enterocolitis. The entire gastrointestinal tract includes the esophagus, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, and rectum, and any of these segments may bleed due to various factors. Do everything possible to keep the baby calm and ensure the airway is clear, monitor vital signs, and pay attention to blood pressure and circulation.
