Patient's question:
(Boy, 1 year old) My child experienced asphyxiation right after birth, and now they are being examined in an incubator in the intensive care unit. Our whole family cannot see the child and are very worried. How many days of monitoring are typically required for newborn asphyxiation?Doctor's answer:
In this case, we need to see the severity of the infant's asphyxia. Based on the baby's condition, follow the local doctor's instructions. If asphyxia occurs, without complications such as brain, heart, lung, liver, and other organ damage, if treated correctly and recovery is good, we usually stay in the hospital for about a week. Complications such as amniotic fluid pneumonia, liver, brain, heart damage, convulsions, and coma may occur. Depending on the severity of the complications, the hospital stay may be at least two weeks.
