What should I do if my premature baby is hypoxic? What to do if the newborn is hypoxic

Long-term hypoxia damage is great, and severe cases will be brain dead. Oxygen is one of the more important items, it is like people's food, it cannot be separated, it is a key substance, and it is also the need of life.

Neonatal brain hypoxia, active timely is the key, so that the baby can inhale oxygen as soon as possible, and actively prevent and treat some other diseases caused by hypoxia.

Children with hypoxia to the brain can generally be divided into mild and severe. Mild cases may cause drowsiness, while severe patients will be prone to respiratory failure, irregular breathing, apnea and other manifestations. Once any condition is found in the fetus in utero, it is necessary to feed the mother to provide oxygen and do it in a timely manner.

It is generally believed that the results of the 1-minute APGAR score: the total score of each item is 8-10 points for no asphyxia, 4-7 points for mild asphyxia, and 0-3 points for severe asphyxia. Generally, a score of 8 or more indicates normality.

A score of more than 7 is mild hypoxia, which often does not affect the prognosis; 4-6 is moderate asphyxia, which can often recover in a short time with aggressive treatment; When it is less than 4 minutes, it shows severe hypoxic asphyxia and respiratory depression. At this time, the doctor must perform emergency resuscitation to have a chance of improvement, otherwise it is difficult for the newborn to survive. Even if a newborn baby survives with a low score 10 minutes after birth and has not yet established normal and effective breathing, the brain cells are damaged due to prolonged hypoxia and can cause sequelae such as mental retardation or movement disorders in the future.

Sick babies have low resistance and are prone to aspiration pneumonia, neonatal scleredema, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and body infections.

Premature babies are sent to the obstetrics and gynecology department for hypoxia, and the incubator is in the intensive care unit.

Vaginal delivery may also have neonatal hypoxia, so what should I do if the newborn is hypoxic?

Timely remedial measures must be taken to reduce the impact on the fetus, because if there is a lack of oxygen for a long time, the harm to the body is also relatively large, and it may cause the child to have developmental and intellectual disabilities. Therefore, it is recommended that if you give birth, you must do a full body examination in advance, if there is a fetal misposition or some abnormalities in the body, it is not recommended that the risk of natural delivery is relatively large, and you can choose caesarean section at this time, which will be relatively safer.

If there is a long-term lack of oxygen, it will have a certain impact on brain cells, which will lead to some cases of cerebral palsy. Usually the sequelae that are relieved within 3 days are rare, and if they are not relieved after 7 days, most of them will have sequelae. Therefore, parents must observe the baby's situation at any time to avoid hypoxia in the baby, and deal with it in time once it is found.

When parents find that their newborn is hypoxic, they first untie the collar to avoid poor breathing, and then check the throat for obstructions.
