Question
The baby is almost three days old, and the doctor says the baby has hypoxia. What are the causes of hypoxia in newborns?
Answer
Hypoxia in newborns is most likely to occur during the period before and after birth. Hypoxia caused by a decrease in amniotic fluid during labor can lead to hypoxic brain injury and a reduction in white matter volume, which can easily result in congenital cerebral palsy and brain diseases. It is recommended that you regularly take your child to the pediatric department of the hospital and consider those who may need brain CT scans and EEGs, as well as observe for signs of epilepsy and other related diseases.
