Newborn asphyxia, oxygen inhalation, slight bluish lips - what to do

Patient's question:

The baby is a newborn, but the baby suddenly experienced asphyxial hypoxia for some reason. The main symptoms are purple lips and difficulty breathing. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Asphyxial hypoxia is a problem faced by many newborns. The main symptoms are purple lips and red skin color. Additionally, if asphyxial hypoxia occurs, the infant should be kept in a ventilated position. At the same time, immediate transportation to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment is necessary, and a incubator should be used for care if necessary. Generally, it is related to congenital heart disease to some extent. Moreover, problems in the digestive system may also occur. You should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
