Patient's question:
When a newborn experiences asphyxia, most will undergo resuscitation at this time. So, what is the process of newborn asphyxia resuscitation?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Neonatal asphyxia refers to a disease caused by various reasons before, during, or after delivery leading to fetal hypoxia, or respiratory and circulatory disorders during the delivery process, resulting in no spontaneous breathing or inability to establish normal breathing within 1 minute after birth, leading to fetal distress. Hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis are the main pathophysiological changes. The main emergency steps are as follows: try to suction respiratory secretions as much as possible; establish breathing and increase ventilation; maintain normal circulation and ensure sufficient cardiac output; pharmacological treatments such as lobeline and naloxone can be used, primarily depending on whether the condition requires it.
