Question
A newborn experienced no breathing at birth, had a weak breath after rescue, was then transferred to a large hospital, and diagnosed with neonatal hypoxic encephalopathy, and is currently in the intensive care unit. Is it possible for this baby to develop complications in the future?
Answer
Neonatal hypoxic encephalopathy is a syndrome caused by brain damage, often accompanied by postural and motor function impairments, which may include intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, behavioral abnormalities, mental disorders, as well as vision, hearing, and language impairments. Professional medical treatment and nutritional medications are typically required for targeted rehabilitation therapy. Regular check-ups are recommended to determine the progression of the condition.
