Question
A friend’s baby experienced asphyxia due to swallowing amniotic fluid and has been discharged from the hospital after rescue. However, the baby is still in the hospital. I would like to ask, when does neonatal asphyxia most commonly occur?
Answer
If the baby’s condition is stable and there are no discomforts, they can be discharged. However, hypoxia may lead to developmental delays. This condition is relatively common in newborns. After discharge, it is important to monitor the baby’s development and schedule regular follow-up checks at major hospitals.
