Patient's question:
What are the treatment methods for infant asphyxia? If a baby chokes, what is the first-line treatment measure? As a postpartum woman, what should I do to prevent such incidents from happening? What should I pay attention to on a daily basis? I would like to ask how to handle infant asphyxia?Doctor's answer:
Infant asphyxia refers to a disease characterized by hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. It is caused by various reasons of hypoxia before, during, or after birth, or by respiratory circulatory disorders during delivery, leading to fetal distress. The fetus is unable to breathe independently or establish normal breathing within one minute. After birth, the first step is aerobic support therapy, including nasal inhalation, mask oxygen, or even ventilator oxygen.
