Question
During the birth process, the newborn experienced approximately one hour of delivery. Due to the mother’s exhaustion, the baby was born through compression, with less amniotic fluid and the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck for about 14-15 days. The baby did not cry immediately upon birth. In such a situation, how should one deal with poor sleep quality caused by mild brain damage?
Answer
If a newborn has experienced asphyxia at birth, they may exhibit mild hypoxia, shallow sleep, difficulty in waking up, and seizures in the nervous system. In most cases, these symptoms are mild and usually do not leave any neurological sequelae or affect the child’s intellectual development. Firstly, a cranial CT scan can confirm the normal development of the brain. Secondly, considering the history of asphyxia and hypoxia, early brain protection measures should be taken.
