Neonatal Asphyxia: Causes and Management by Subasri is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Asphyxia neonatorum is defined as the failure to establish satisfactory pulmonary respiration at birth, characterized by the absence of pulse and spontaneous respiration within one minute. Its etiology includes continuation of intrauterine hypoxia, birth trauma, and maternal medication, leading to various clinical features based on oxygen deprivation. Management involves prophylactic measures, assessment using the Apgar score, and immediate interventions based on the severity of asphyxia.
