Early detection of neonatal disorders is essential for timely intervention. This can be achieved through various means:
1. Prenatal Screening: Prenatal ultrasounds and genetic testing can detect certain congenital anomalies before birth, allowing for early planning and intervention.
2. Newborn Screening: Routine newborn screening tests, such as the APGAR score and metabolic screenings, can identify conditions like phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism early on.
3. Clinical Observation: Continuous monitoring and assessment by healthcare professionals can quickly identify signs of distress or abnormal development, prompting immediate action.
