Patient's question:
A newborn baby is troubled every day, and doesn't like feeding either. It is said to be caused by hypoxia. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hypoxia in newborns is a serious threat to their life and health. Doctors usually give two Apgar scores, one at one minute and another at five minutes after birth. A normal newborn has a total score of 10, and the lower the score, the more severe the asphyxia. For example: a score of 7 or higher indicates mild hypoxia, which often does not affect the prognosis; a score of 4 to 6 indicates moderate asphyxia, which can be recovered in a short time with active treatment; a score below 4 indicates severe hypoxia and respiratory depression. At this time, it is necessary to perform emergency rescue and resuscitation on the doctor to improve the chances, otherwise the newborn will have a very difficult time surviving.
