Patient's question:
The baby was born without crying. The doctor said it was neonatal asphyxia. They are now in the hospital being resuscitated. Could you please ask the doctor how to care for a baby with neonatal asphyxia, how to treat it, and how to prevent it? Thank you for your answer. How should a baby with neonatal asphyxia be cared for?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Keeping warm is very important throughout the rescue process. Due to poor respiratory circulation after newborn asphyxia, body temperature often does not rise. The indoor temperature should be controlled between 24℃ and 26℃. Children with low body temperature can be kept warm with hot water bags until their body temperature rises above 36℃. Then, depending on the specific situation, they should be placed in an incubator. When using hot water bags for warmth, it is essential to avoid burning the skin. The temperature and humidity inside the incubator should be appropriate, and regular monitoring should be conducted to maintain a relative humidity of 55% to 65%.
