How to deal with hydrocephalus in newborns

Patient's question:

My son was born on September 18, 2007, weighing 1.9 kilograms due to preterm labor (34 weeks + 2 days). He made crying 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. Your 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 extract used by the hospital is specifically designed to address these issues. Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy. This is caused by brain cell damage due to a lack of pulmonary surfactant in premature infants. You mentioned the doctor said it's Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy. It's quite serious.
