Can premature infant severe asphyxia die?

summary

Neonatal asphyxia refers to a variety of causes, such as prenatal, intrapartum or postpartum, resulting in fetal hypoxia and intrauterine distress or respiratory and circulatory disorders during delivery, resulting in no spontaneous breathing or failure to establish regular breathing within 1 minute after birth, with hypoxemia, hypercapnia and acidosis as the main pathophysiological changes. Severe asphyxia is one of the important causes of neonatal disability and death. So if there is neonatal asphyxia, can the newborn still be saved?

Can premature infant severe asphyxia die?

In fact, neonatal asphyxia will not necessarily die, as long as through the correct rescue method can return to breathing, generally after rescue, the majority of infants breathing soon improved, crying loud, red skin, limb activity. A small number of severe cases were often in a state of shock, cold limbs and so on.

But after the rescue of the newborn to timely care can return to life. At this time, newborns need more breast milk. Breast milk contains more abundant antibodies and nutrients, because the newborn is weak, it is more likely to suffer from many infections. Breast milk is easier to digest and does not put an extra burden on the fragile stomach like milk powder.

We can prevent neonatal asphyxia by controlling the amount and times of feeding. Neonatal digestive capacity is poor, so we can only take the method of feeding. Such as: the weight of less than 1500 grams of premature infants, feeding every 2 hours. Premature infants weighing more than 1500 grams are fed about once every three hours.

matters needing attention

Therefore, if the newborn has asphyxia, adults must not be nervous, although the fear of asphyxia, but nervous adults will make the newborn lose dependence. In fact, as long as through the right way, it can help the newborn return to breathing soon.
