Question
Can a baby undergo a CT scan on the second day of birth?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s head CT scan on the second day of birth indicates hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. It is estimated that the baby may have experienced asphyxia at birth, which could have led to the development of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. If it’s just mild hypoxia, there’s no need to worry; it’s recommended to be hospitalized for further treatment to prevent any complications. You can carefully observe your child’s condition and avoid excessive movement.
