How to treat cerebral hypoxia in children?

The difference between humans and animals is that humans can think; the reason why humans are advanced animals is that humans can think while animals cannot. However, in the 21st century, various brain-related diseases are constantly appearing around us, such as cerebral hypoxia. The main group of patients suffering from cerebral hypoxia are children, because children may not get enough oxygen at birth, so their lives may be in danger at any time after birth. If brain hypoxia is not treated, it will be detrimental to the healthy growth of the child. So how do we treat brain hypoxia in children?

1 In order to prevent the occurrence of perinatal asphyxia, we must continuously improve obstetric technology, deal with intrauterine distress in a timely manner, and end delivery as soon as possible. Infants who suffer asphyxia after birth should be resuscitated promptly to reduce the incidence of HIE. It is generally believed that if after comprehensive resuscitation measures, the patient still does not recover spontaneous breathing or the Apgar score is still below 1 point after 20 minutes of rescue, the brain has suffered serious and irreversible damage.

2First of all, maintain a quiet indoor environment, and do not hold or move the baby frequently.

3. Pay attention to keeping warm. Overheating can easily cause the baby to lose water and become dehydrated; too cold can cause the body temperature to remain unchanged or neonatal scleredema. The ideal temperature for your baby's room in winter should be between 18 and 22 degrees. If conditions do not allow, you can place a hot water bottle around the newborn's swaddling clothes. The water temperature should be 40-60 degrees. Change the water every 1-2 hours to keep the baby's body temperature between 36-37 degrees. Also maintain a certain air humidity.

4. Feed the baby carefully. You can also use a milk to water ratio of 1:1, 2:1 to 3:1, and milk with 5% sugar water to feed the baby, and gradually increase the proportion of milk. Feed in small amounts and multiple times. Do not feed too much at one time to prevent vomiting, aspiration, and the risk of aspiration pneumonia and suffocation. Babies who are fed milk should supplement calcium and cod liver oil in time.

5. Prevent infection. There should be less traffic in the room where the newborn is located, and relatives with infectious diseases, skin infections or colds should try to avoid contact with the baby. At the same time, we should strengthen the care of the navel, buttocks and oral cavity to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.

The above is an introduction to how to treat cerebral hypoxia in children. I hope it will be helpful to you. It is not impossible to recover from brain hypoxia in children. As long as we are willing to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, the child will be able to recover soon. Of course, children should also be checked for cerebral hypoxia regularly, because regular checks are beneficial to the healthy growth of children. I wish you a happy life.
