Neonatal asphyxia, also known as neonatal failure to cry, is a condition in which the infant does not breathe spontaneously or fails to establish regular breathing after birth and is characterized by hypoxemia, hypercapnia and acidosis as the main pathophysiological changes. Neonatal asphyxia is classified as mild asphyxia or severe asphyxia, and can be graded according to the Apgar score, which is generally based on the five signs of skin color, heart rate, response to stimulation, muscle tone, and breathing after birth. 3 or less is severe asphyxia, 4-7 is mild asphyxia, and 8-10 is normal. Mild asphyxia is characterized by: bruising of the newborn’s face and skin; shallow or irregular breathing; regular, strong and powerful heartbeat with a heart rate of 80-120 beats per minute; response to external stimuli; good muscle tone and laryngeal reflex. First aid methods for neonatal asphyxia: 1. Clean up the airway: First of all, the airway must be cleaned up so that it is unobstructed before stimulating breathing. The amniotic fluid and mucus in the mouth, nose and pharynx should be aspirated with a catheter first, and if the effect is not good, endotracheal intubation should be taken to aspirate, and the action should be gentle during operation. 2, stimulate and establish respiration: needle prick human middle, ten Xuan, alcohol rub chest, if still no breathing, that is, artificial respiration. 3.Oxygen administration: after cleaning the airway, that is, begin to use the catheter inserted into the nasal cavity to give oxygen, such as the use of endotracheal intubation pressure oxygen, the newborn to establish a normal breathing before dialing the tube. 4.Use respiratory stimulants. 5.Correct acidosis. 6, the process of resuscitation should pay attention to insulation, after resuscitation there is still the possibility of re-asphyxia, to be closely observed. Newborn mild asphyxia, if resuscitated in a timely manner, properly handled, a short period of hypoxia, generally will not leave sequelae.
