Patient's question:
Doctor, my child just had a baby a few months ago. Some friends said that when taking care of them, it's very important not to cover them too tightly with cushions and blankets, as it can lead to oxygen deprivation. So, I would like to ask, how is oxygen deprivation treated in newborns?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to answer for you! According to your description, if a newborn is (hypoxic), their face will turn purple and black. Under normal circumstances, when a fetus is (hypoxic), the heart rate in the uterus will be too fast or too slow. If the baby is covered too thickly, it is easy to get a fever. If the indoor temperature is not too high, you can cover it with a small piece appropriately, and try not to cover the baby too thickly. If the indoor temperature is too high, you can open the air conditioner but do not blow directly. The thickness of the covering will not cause (hypoxia), but it will cause fever.
