Patient's question:
What should be done in case of newborn asphyxia? How to rescue and resuscitate? Will asphyxia leave sequelae? What are the causes that can lead to newborn asphyxia? What are the main manifestations of newborn asphyxia?Doctor's answer:
1. Use of sedatives and anesthetics: The use of morphine or barbiturate drugs within 4 hours before fetal delivery, or the use of deep ether anesthesia during labor, can inhibit the newborn's respiratory center.2. Intracranial injury: Hypoxia, dystocia, or forceps delivery can cause compression of the fetal head, leading to intracranial hemorrhage.
3. Airway obstruction: During prolonged labor, the fetus may inhale amniotic fluid, mucus, and blood, causing airway obstruction.
4. Persistent fetal distress: If the causes of fetal distress are not corrected, it can lead to neonatal asphyxia.
