What should be done if a newborn has difficulty breathing?

Patient's question:

What usually affects children at first? Is the shortness of breath severe? I want to know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! This may be related to neonatal asphyxia. It is a disease characterized by primary pathophysiological changes such as hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. During delivery, fetal distress is caused by hypoxia or respiratory and circulatory disorders, leading to no spontaneous breathing or the inability to establish regular breathing within the first minute of birth. Try to inhale respiratory secretions; establish breathing to increase ventilation; maintain normal circulation to ensure sufficient cardiac output.
