Patient's question:
I am currently 8 months pregnant and have a condition of gestational hypertension. The doctor at the hospital said that if necessary, they will perform infant resuscitation. I would like to ask if infant resuscitation is dangerous? What are the effects of infant resuscitation?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are serious complications that occur in women after the 20th week of pregnancy. If blood pressure is not well-controlled, it can lead to eclampsia, which may result in fetal intrapartum asphyxia. If fetal intrapartum asphyxia occurs, resuscitation is necessary. Resuscitation of the newborn is generally not dangerous. It is recommended to measure blood pressure regularly. Avoid excessive salty foods and opt for a light diet.
