Patient's question:
The process of delivering the baby took about an hour. Later, my wife didn't have the strength to continue, and the baby was squeezed out. Due to a lack of amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck about fifteen or sixteen days. The baby didn't cry when it came out. I want to ask if the baby has mild brain damage due to asphyxiation and poor sleep quality?Doctor's answer:
Infants with a history of asphyxia at birth, such as mild hypoxia, lack of sleepiness, difficulty waking up, and convulsions, may experience psychological changes. Most symptoms are mild, and there is usually no neurological sequelae, with no impact on the baby's intellectual development.1. With the help of cranial brain CT, we can observe normal brain development.
2. Given a history of asphyxia and hypoxia, brain damage should be considered. Early brain-protective medications, such as gangliosides, Cerebrolysin, and hyperbaric oxygen, are recommended to improve the metabolism of brain cells and can be applied during the treatment process for the feet.
