Case: A newborn baby suffers from lack of oxygen due to asphyxia. Would the baby have a sustained HIGH systemic blood pressure or a sustained HIGH pulmonary pressure? After picking, tell me why?
A) The baby would have sustain high PULMONARY pressure from RIGHT to LEFT shunting from either an open foramen ovale or PDA. Naturally, his systemic organs would all be damaged along with increased risk of DIC.
