Question
What are the symptoms of neonatal asphyxia in terms of breathing difficulties? Can the hospital provide timely treatment if the child experiences breathing difficulties before or after birth?
Answer
Neonatal breathing difficulties occur due to various reasons leading to fetal coughing and circulatory failure during the birthing process or immediately after. Typically, if a child shows signs of neonatal breathing difficulties, immediate resuscitation treatment is required. In severe cases, it may result in disabilities or even death for the child. Therefore, parents need to ensure that their child receives sufficient oxygen during labor and avoid situations of low oxygen levels.
