Question
A friend of mine’s child was recently born, but has developed neonatal hemorrhage. The friend is particularly worried and wants to know what the incidence rate of neonatal hemorrhage is?
Answer
Neonatal hemorrhage is a type of vitamin K deficiency hemorrhage, a relatively common bleeding disorder in newborns, and therefore has a relatively high incidence rate. In treatment, it is first necessary to identify the cause, make a diagnosis, and then proceed with treatment. For children with bleeding, vitamin K should be administered intramuscularly immediately to stop the bleeding quickly. In cases of severe bleeding accompanied by shock, blood transfusion or plasma can be administered immediately to correct hypotension and anemia.
