Question
What potential sequelae may occur if neonates do not undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Answer
The purpose of neonatal hyperbaric oxygen therapy is to improve brain hypoxia, but if treatment is not performed, it may lead to severe sequelae, including brain damage and delayed intellectual development. However, each child’s situation is unique, and the risk and severity of sequelae depend on the specific condition and recovery status of the child. Parents should follow the professional advice of doctors and choose appropriate treatment methods, and should not make decisions on their own. Since children are young, treatment should be started as early as possible to promote early recovery.
