Question

What are the common symptoms of neonatal asphyxia? If my child is born with asphyxia, does the hospital have the ability to carry out emergency rescue?

Answer

When a fetus experiences asphyxia in the womb, it usually presents with abnormal fetal heart rate and abnormal fetal movement, and sometimes accompanied by cloudy amniotic fluid. At this point, medical staff will administer low-flow oxygen therapy to correct the hypoxia. If the symptoms of asphyxia cannot be relieved, an early termination of pregnancy may be necessary. For newborns who experience asphyxia after birth, hospitals have corresponding emergency measures and can usually carry out successful rescue in most cases.
