Patient's question:
I'm about to reach the stage of labor, and I'm very worried that the child might show some bad symptoms before birth. I'd like to learn about the general signs of newborn asphyxia. If the child experiences asphyxia, can the hospital rescue in time?Doctor's answer:
If the fetus is asphyxiated in the uterine cavity, it generally shows changes in fetal heart rate and fetal movement, characterized by a significant increase or decrease in fetal heart rate, and a significant acceleration or decrease in fetal movement. Turbid amniotic fluid can also be observed in ultrasound examinations. When fetal intracranial asphyxia is detected, low-flow oxygen is usually required to correct the hypoxic symptoms. If the asphyxiation symptoms cannot be fully corrected, it may be necessary to consider premature termination of pregnancy. In children with asphyxiation symptoms postpartum, timely and effective rescue measures can usually lead to successful outcomes.
