This is a 2-day newborn baby. His mother received regular prenatal examination at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic before birth, and the boy was born via normal spontaneous delivery naturally at term, with a slightly lower birth weight in the normal range. There was no breathing at birth and limbs inactivity, and there were still problems such as inability to breathe spontaneously and poor activity after giving emergency intubation. The clinic contacted Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital to take over the baby. The intubation and oxygen were given, and the blood oxygen concentration was maintained at 95-99%. There were nasal flaring and respiratory distress noted, and the newborn was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The Chinese Medicine doctor of our hospital offered the boy with laser acupuncture, three times a week. After receiving the six courses with laser acupuncture, the newborn has a significant progress in muscle strength of four extremities and improving the respiratory distress.
