he admitted to special care unit?

What- a type of seizure where they blank out for few seconds

Causes- unknown, but It has been linked with genetic components

danger

, Reassess later if score is low

3 and below bad

4-6 fair

7-10 normal

if Apgar score remains below 3, reassess at later times such as 10, 15, or 30 minutes, risk of longer-
term neurological damage



4. Asthma explanation



What- an airway conditions where there is narrowing of the airpipe, which is triggered external
triggers like pollen, dust, animal furs and so on

Causes- the cause of this is that there is overactive immune system which will trigger it by the
external trigger that we mentioned just now, causes inflammation of the air pipe which causes the
narrowing of the pipe, sometimes it runs in the family, people with eczema and hay fever have
higher risk of getting it as well

Problem- usually its manageable, most of them will get rid of it when they are older although some
persist into their adulthood

Management- there is a few things we can do to manage this problem, here are two ways of
managing it, 1st one is preventive, try to identify what is the trigger and avoid contact with the
trigger

2nd is medical, red inhaler-steroid lower the chance of getting asthma attack

Blue inhaler, use it when the symptoms come, can use it up to 10 times, 10 mins apart, if not getting
better, go to the nearest a and e to seek for further treatment

In the meantime, if breathing effort is severe, turn blue, could not finish sentence and unconscious,
go to the nearest A&E to seek for help
