How to determine neonatal pneumonia?

The lower part of chest wall was obviously depressed when the infants were less than two months old. It's called chest depression. This is because when suffering from pneumonia, children need to inhale harder than usual to complete the gas exchange. If the newborn has both rapid breathing and obvious chest depression, it can be diagnosed as severe pneumonia and must be hospitalized.

According to the World Health Organization (who) program for the control of children's acute respiratory infection (ARI), when the number of breaths per minute of infants less than two months is greater than or equal to 60, it can be regarded as rapid breathing; If the count of two 1 minutes is greater than (or equal to) 60 times, it can be determined that the child's breathing is faster;

No matter what the cause of neonatal pneumonia, children have obvious hypoxia, if oxygen can not be supplied in time, so that the improvement of hypoxia can lead to long-term severe cerebral hypoxia in children, which has adverse effects on children's intellectual development.
