Neonatal Asphyxia
Neonatal Asphyxia is a medical condition that occurs when a newborn does not receive enough oxygen during the birth process. This lack of oxygen can lead to serious complications, including brain damage or even death. It can happen due to various factors, such as prolonged labor, umbilical cord problems, or maternal health issues.
Prompt recognition and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes. Healthcare providers may use resuscitation techniques to restore oxygen levels and monitor the baby closely for any signs of distress. Early intervention can significantly reduce the risk of long-term effects associated with Neonatal Asphyxia.
