How to deal with hydrocephalus in newborns

Patient's question:

My son was born on September 18, 2007, prematurely (34 weeks + 2 days) weighing 1.9 kilograms. He made groaning sounds after birth, and the doctor said his lungs were underdeveloped. He was placed in an incubator for oxygen therapy. The doctor diagnosed him with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which is a serious condition.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of your child's condition. The child has been diagnosed with the following diseases from birth to now. Respiratory Distress Syndrome of Prematurity. This is caused by a lack of pulmonary surfactant in premature infants. The bovine lung surfactant used by the hospital is specifically designed to address these issues. Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy. This is due to brain cell damage caused by a lack of pulmonary surfactant in premature infants. You mentioned the doctor said it's Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy. It's quite serious.
