Patient's question:
The baby was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 13 months. Both legs were weak and unable to bend, and he would never walk. His head was always tilted backward, his hands were stiff and couldn't be opened, and he often cried out. He didn't communicate with people. The doctor recommended that while treatment was being carried out, nursing care should also be strengthened. What kind of help is needed: What are the key points of nursing care for children with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
During early pregnancy, maternal conditions such as gestational toxicity, genetic defects, and intrauterine infections can lead to fetal hypoxic brain damage, premature birth, birth injuries, respiratory distress, advanced maternal age, twin pregnancy, environmental pollution, and various neurological infections as well as jaundice. The main risk factors primarily include fetal growth retardation, premature birth, low birth weight, and birth-related respiratory distress. Children should be grouped together for collective activities, and relaxing, cheerful music and children's songs should be played indoors, along with counting exercises.
