How to Rescue and Care for Newborns Suffering from Asphyxia?

Question

The baby didn’t cry when it was born, and the doctor said it was newborn asphyxia. The baby is currently being rescued in the hospital. How should the doctor care for a newborn suffering from asphyxia? How should it be treated and prevented? Thank you for your answer on how to care for newborn asphyxia.

Answer

Hello, maintaining warmth is crucial throughout the entire rescue process. Due to the poor respiratory circulation after newborn asphyxia, body temperature usually does not rise. The indoor temperature should be controlled between 24℃~26℃. Children with low body temperatures can use a hot water bottle for warmth until the body temperature rises above 36℃, and then place it in a warming box according to different situations. When warming with a hot water bottle, be cautious not to burn the skin. The temperature and humidity inside the warming box should be appropriate, and regular observations should be made to maintain relative humidity between 55% and 65%.
