Patient's question:
I gave birth naturally, but when the baby was born, there was slightly some oxygen deprivation. What should be done about newborn oxygen deprivation?Doctor's answer:
Hypoxia can cause significant harm to newborns, so oxygen therapy must be administered promptly. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is typically treated by maintaining good ventilation, stabilizing heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels, controlling seizures, reducing intracranial pressure, and eliminating brainstem symptoms. In particular, the treatment of mild hypothermia has been proven to be an active and effective method in recent years. Specifically, some brain cells that are on the verge of necrosis may be recovered within 6 hours after hypoxia occurs, so it is recommended to be hospitalized immediately after hypoxia.
