What's the difference between neonatal shock and convulsion?

Neonatal convulsion type, mini seizure: more common than other types, mainly in the head and face, no limb rigidity or clonus, mild movement during the seizure, weak and limited convulsions, can be manifested as apnea, eye deviation, eyelid twitch, lip tremor, sucking and swallowing, mydriasis, sometimes accompanied by abnormal crying and laughing, or only autonomic nerve symptoms, Sometimes accompanied by the body of the bicycle, step, swimming and other movements.

The symptoms of neonatal convulsion are as follows: the head turns to one side, the neck turns to the back, the eyes straighten or the balls incline to one side, the eyes move upward, the mouth spits, the limbs stretch or shake, and the hands clench. Can have defecate, make water incontinence (PEE pants namely). When you smoke, you don't feel conscious. When you smoke, you don't breathe. Your face is blue and purple. Convulsion can last for several seconds or minutes and then relieve itself and stop the convulsion. If the convulsion lasts for more than half an hour, it still can't stop. This is called convulsion status. After the ventilation stopped, the baby fell asleep. Small infants may have angular and eye twitch, apnea or irregular breathing.

Neonatal convulsion performance, posture change: normal neonatal limbs often flexion state, but not too much flexion, wrist, knee, elbow, ankle joint angle is generally not less than 90 degrees, open package limbs often irregular dance. If the joint angle of the limbs is less than 90 degrees, it means that the muscle tension is increased. If the limbs are soft and straight, the whole body is in a big shape, it means that the muscle tension is low.

matters needing attention
