Answers

  1. Use of Sedatives and Anesthetics: The administration of morphine or barbiturate drugs within four hours before delivery, or the use of ether for deep anesthesia during labor, can suppress the newborn’s respiratory center.
  2. Intracranial Injury: Due to reasons such as hypoxia, protracted labor, or forceps delivery, pressure on the fetal head may cause intracranial hemorrhage.
  3. Airway Obstruction: During an extended labor process, the fetus may inhale amniotic fluid, mucus, and blood, leading to airway obstruction.
  4. Continuation of Fetal Distress: Any cause of fetal distress that is not corrected may lead to newborn asphyxia. These are the questions and answers regarding newborn asphyxia. I hope they are helpful.
