New born baby on hhhfnc with 21% oxygen
My baby is born on 23rd August using lscs and at gestation age of 35 weeks.
Since he born is admitted to nicu and initially was at cpap with 30% oxygen and after 2 days he is continuously given hhhfnc with 25% oxygen and now 21%.
His saturation level is coming between 95-98
Baby was initially breathing faster
Doctor tried to remove hhhfnc but saturation level was 85-88
Please suggest
Don't type consult..looking forward for a satisfactory reply.
