Patient's question:
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 ask the doctor 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, maintaining warmth is very important throughout the rescue process. Due to poor respiratory and circulatory function after newborn asphyxia, body temperature often does not rise. The indoor temperature should be controlled between 24℃ and 26℃. Children with low body temperature can be kept warm with hot water bags until their body temperature rises above 36℃, and then placed in an incubator according to different conditions. When using hot water bags for warmth, it is essential to pay attention not to burn the skin. The temperature and humidity inside the incubator should be appropriate, and it should be regularly monitored to maintain a relative humidity of 55% to 65%.
