How can respiratory problems in neonates be prevented?
Preventive measures include prenatal care to manage maternal conditions, the use of corticosteroids to accelerate lung maturity in at-risk pregnancies, and careful monitoring during delivery to reduce the risk of meconium aspiration. Postnatally, strategies such as the administration of surfactant therapy, controlled oxygen therapy, and the use of non-invasive ventilation methods can help mitigate the risk of severe respiratory complications.
