Question
How long does it generally take to care for a newborn with asphyxia?
Answer
Newborn asphyxia is extremely dangerous, and the specific duration of care depends on the child’s physical condition. Newborn asphyxia refers to a condition where, due to various reasons before, during, or after birth, the fetus aspirates water, leading to intrauterine distress or respiratory and circulatory disorders during delivery. This results in no spontaneous breathing or establishment of regular breathing within one minute after birth, with hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis as the main pathophysiological changes.
