What Are the Treatment Options for Disorders of Neural Respiratory Control?
Treatment options vary depending on the specific disorder. For example:
Apnea of prematurity: Often managed with caffeine citrate to stimulate breathing or mechanical ventilation in severe cases. CCHS: Requires lifelong ventilatory support, either through mechanical ventilation or diaphragmatic pacing. SIDS: Prevention strategies include placing infants on their backs to sleep, using a firm sleep surface, and avoiding soft bedding.
