Question
What are the hospitalization costs for neonates requiring treatment for asphyxia, especially for a 7-day stay?
Answer
In cases of neonatal asphyxia, the primary concern is the baby’s health status. If the baby’s vital signs are stable and there are no discomforts, discharge may be considered. However, if the baby has experienced oxygen deficiency, it may lead to developmental delays, which are not uncommon in newborns. After discharge, parents should closely monitor any signs of developmental delays in the baby and regularly visit nearby small hospitals for follow-up checks to ensure the baby’s healthy development.
