Question
My child was just born two or three days ago, and I went for a check-up yesterday. I was diagnosed with neonatal hypoxemia and ischemic encephalopathy. I can’t believe it because the child has been very calm since birth. Can you please tell me about the mild clinical manifestations of neonatal hypoxemia and ischemic encephalopathy?
Answer
The mild clinical manifestations of neonatal hypoxemia and ischemic encephalopathy mainly involve hypoxic conditions. The disease is generally categorized into mild, moderate, and severe degrees. In the case of mild hypoxemia and ischemic encephalopathy, newborns may exhibit excessive excitement, irritability, jaw and limb tremors. Moderate hypoxemia and ischemic encephalopathy may present with symptoms of drowsiness, decreased muscle tone, and coma.
