Question
What are the consequences of oxygen deficiency in pregnant women for their child? If a child is born via cesarean section and turns blue all over, could there be malformations or any congenital diseases?
Answer
The blue appearance of a child born via cesarean section may be due to respiratory distress in newborns caused by intrauterine oxygen deficiency. In such cases, the child may be at risk of developing hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or cerebral hemorrhage. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo examinations, including nuclear magnetic resonance imaging or CT scans if necessary. If the child exhibits neurological symptoms such as anorexia, irritability, and twitching, active treatment should be pursued to avoid sequelae.
