Patient's question:
I just gave birth three days ago and noticed something was wrong with the baby. It seems to have hard and swollen skin. I'm really worried. What should I do? I went to a hospital, and the doctor there said the baby was too young for tests, estimating it might be neonatal hypothermia syndrome. I would like to ask, what is neonatal hypothermia syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Infant cold injury syndrome. Also known as infant hardening syndrome. It is caused by factors such as cold, infection, asphyxia, and premature birth. Its characteristic is the hardening of the skin and subcutaneous fat. In severe cases, it can lead to multiple organ failure. Treatment: 1. Re-warming: Set the appropriate incubation temperature based on the degree of the sclera. Closely monitor vital signs; Anti-infection: Patients with scleral infection should receive enhanced anti-infection treatment;
