Newborn hypoxia? Blood oxygen monitoring was discovered early!

　　The respiratory center of the newborn is not fully developed, the cough reflex is weak (milk sucking, diet may cause suffocation), the diaphragm of the thoracic rib muscles is weak, and the pulmonary surfactant is insufficient. Compared with adults, the respiratory status of the newborn needs to be closely monitored. If the monitor manufacturer finds that the newborn suffers from hypoxia during delivery, it is necessary to closely monitor the blood oxygen status after the baby is discharged from the hospital to avoid the occurrence of severe hypoxia and affect the normal development of the baby.

　　Causes of neonatal hypoxia

　　Medical reasons: pneumonia, aspiration syndrome (meconium, amniotic fluid, blood, milk), wet lung, atelectasis, pulmonary hemorrhage, lung dysplasia, apnea, mediastinal emphysema, interstitial emphysema, non-surgical upper respiratory tract Obstruction (small jaw deformity, backward tongue, partial obstruction, laryngotracheal softening), nonsurgical abdominal distension; congenital heart disease with or without heart failure, shock (infectious, hypovolemic, hemorrhagic), polycythemia ; Abnormal central nervous system, etc.

　　Surgical causes: pneumothorax, diaphragmatic hernia, esophageal atresia with or without distal esophago-tracheal fistula, pleural effusion (empyema, chylothorax, hemothorax), congenital lobar emphysema, pulmonary cyst or mass, upper airway or mediastinum Or lung tumors, upper airway obstruction, etc.

　　If there are newborns with the above symptoms, the monitor manufacturer recommends closely monitoring the newborn's blood oxygen level after discharge.

　　Neonatal hypoxia performance

　　Neonatal hypoxia is mainly manifested in: ① increased or decreased breathing; ② too deep or superficial breathing: infants or newborns can manifest as open mouth breathing, moaning, nasal agitation (one nostril in one), nodding breath; , The complexion becomes purple or gray; ④ The pit of the sternum is depressed. The standard for increasing the respiratory rate is: under the condition of calm and no oxygen inhalation, less than 2 months old ≥60 times / min, 2 months old-12 months old ≥50 times / min.

　　What is the use of newborn oximeter

　　The neonatal oximeter is designed to monitor neonatal blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Arterial blood oxygen saturation is an important parameter that reflects respiratory function and whether it is hypoxic. Hypoxia will cause many diseases, and serious death will occur, so blood Real-time monitoring of oxygen, especially the health of newborns, is particularly important.
