Question
How should one handle a newborn’s respiratory difficulty and elevated myocardial enzymes?
Answer
Based on the examination results, the newborn may have experienced some myocardial cell necrosis due to aspiration at birth, leading to elevated myocardial enzymes. It is recommended to undergo oxygen therapy, with the recovery time depending on the level of myocardial enzymes. It is also suggested to undergo a cranial CT scan and be hospitalized for intravenous administration of medications that nourish myocardial and brain cells. The outcome of treatment will depend on the actual condition of the newborn.
