Patient's question:
Previously, I heard from a friend that a baby in his hometown died at home due to accidental suffocation shortly after birth, but the cause of the condition was unknown. Now that I have also given birth, I am very concerned about such issues. Can a baby who has suffocated eat meat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, parent. Fetal asphyxia refers to a disease caused by various etiologies before, during, or after birth, leading to fetal hypoxia and intrauterine distress due to the lack of oxygen in the abdomen. Or it occurs during the delivery process, resulting in respiratory and circulatory disorders, leading to no spontaneous breathing within the first minute after birth or the inability to establish regular breathing. The main pathological and physiological changes include hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. To prevent fetal asphyxia, it is recommended to undergo relevant examination items during pregnancy.
