The effect of oxygen deprivation on the brain of a newborn baby needs to be analyzed according to the duration of oxygen deprivation. If the duration of hypoxia is short, the effect is generally small, and vice versa, the effect may be larger.
1. If the hypoxia time is very short, the hypoxia can be corrected in time by giving oxygen and other therapeutic measures, and the short time of hypoxia has no effect on the baby, and will not lead to brain damage, and there is no after-effects.
2. If the infant is hypoxic for a longer time, the infant may have clinical symptoms such as straightened crying, respiratory arrest, convulsions, etc., and should be given timely and active oxygen absorption, drugs to promote neurological recovery such as gangliosides and other symptomatic treatments, which may also leave varying degrees of brain damage.
Severe cases can lead to cerebral palsy, with abnormalities in language, movement, intelligence and other aspects of development, and long-term rehabilitation is needed in the later stages.
Parents of newborn babies with hypoxia must actively seek medical attention and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment in order to minimize the baby’s complications. The above medications should be used in accordance with medical advice.
