Patient's question:
Hello doctor, the baby didn't cry right after birth, and the doctor said it was neonatal asphyxia. Now the baby is being resuscitated in the hospital. Could you please tell me 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, wash your hands frequently, disinfect regularly, and maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity in the ward to reduce the risk of infection among children in the ward. Specifically, children living in incubators should pay special attention to regular cleaning and disinfection. Various nursing and treatment procedures should be performed gently to minimize unnecessary movement, thereby keeping the child calm and avoiding complications such as intracranial hemorrhage. When using a hot water bag for warmth, it is essential to be cautious to prevent burns. The temperature and humidity inside the incubator should be appropriate, and it should be regularly monitored to maintain a relative humidity between 55% and 65%. During oxygen therapy, closely monitor the child's breathing, complexion, and changes in blood oxygen saturation index. I hope I can help you.
