Patient's question:
According to the World Health Organization's statistics in 1994: Approximately 1 million newborn deaths each year are due to neonatal asphyxia, which is one of the main causes of infant mortality, accounting for 20-30%. Is there a treatment guideline?Doctor's answer:
The first part of the guide aims to align with Principle 1, ensuring that at least one trained and skilled neonatal resuscitation personnel is present during each delivery.2. Strengthen cooperation between obstetrics and gynecology, with pediatricians participating in discussions before high-risk pregnant women's delivery or before surgery; waiting at the delivery bed for delivery and resuscitation in case of asphyxia; responsible for monitoring and ward rounds of asphyxiated children. Pediatricians in delivery should jointly protect the fetus to ensure a smooth transition from fetus to newborn.
3. Under the intervention of health administrative leadership, rehabilitation guidance and routine training will be institutionalized. Continuous training, retraining, regular assessments will be conducted, and rehabilitation equipment will be provided. Hospitals at all levels should establish resuscitation leadership teams composed of obstetricians, pediatricians, midwives (departments), and anesthetists.
