What is the neonatal asphyxia rating standard?

Nursing measures and coping methods for newborn asphyxia.

Neonatal asphyxia may be caused by narrow birth canal or other factors, requiring immediate CPR and close observation.

The severity of neonatal asphyxia is related to the Apgar score. Generally, mild asphyxia does not leave any sequelae, while moderate and severe asphyxia may cause neurological damage.

Understand the treatment methods and preventive measures for neonatal asphyxia to ensure healthy growth for newborns.

The main diagnosis criteria for neonatal asphyxia include blue or pale skin on the face and body, dark purple lips, shallow breathing, irregular or no breathing, or only accompanied by wheezing weak breathing, normal heart rate, good response to external stimuli, muscle tension or no response to external stimuli, relaxed muscle tone, and the presence or absence of laryngeal reflex. If these symptoms occur, timely treatment is required.

Asphyxia refers to a condition where the fetus experiences respiratory and circulatory obstruction in the abdomen and stomach due to various reasons during childbirth, leading to a lack of spontaneous breathing or irregular breathing within one minute after birth. The main pathophysiological changes include hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. In severe cases of asphyxia, even after 30 seconds of assisted ventilation with oxygen and chest compression, the condition does not improve. Neurological symptoms may occur. Strengthening nursing care, proper feeding, and preventing and treating infections and complications are recommended.
