How Can Neurodevelopmental Impairment Be Prevented?
Prevention strategies focus on minimizing risk factors and promoting optimal prenatal and neonatal care:
Ensuring adequate prenatal care to monitor and manage maternal health conditions. Preventing preterm birth through medical interventions and lifestyle modifications. Administering antenatal steroids to mothers at risk of preterm delivery to enhance fetal lung maturity. Providing optimal neonatal care, including neonatal intensive care for at-risk infants. Preventing and promptly treating neonatal infections.
