What are the Management Strategies for Neonatal Infections?
Neonatal infections can be life-threatening and require immediate attention. Management includes: - Antibiotic therapy: Empiric antibiotic treatment is often started before the specific pathogen is identified. - Supportive care: Includes fluids, nutrition, and monitoring of vital signs. - Isolation protocols: To prevent the spread of infection within the neonatal unit. - Immunoglobulin therapy: In some cases, intravenous immunoglobulins may be administered to boost the baby's immune response.
