How is Hemodynamic Instability Managed in Neonates?
Management strategies depend on the underlying cause and severity of the instability. Common interventions include:
Fluid management: Administering intravenous fluids to maintain blood volume and pressure. Vasopressors: Medications like dopamine and dobutamine to increase blood pressure. Inotropes: Drugs that strengthen heart contractions, improving cardiac output. Prostaglandin inhibitors: Medications to close a PDA. Mechanical ventilation: To support breathing and improve oxygenation in conditions like PPHN.
