What is the Treatment for Myocardial Dysfunction in Neonates?
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition:
- Oxygen Therapy: Ensuring adequate oxygenation is critical. - Inotropic Agents: Medications like dopamine or dobutamine can improve cardiac contractility. - Antibiotics: Used in cases of sepsis to treat underlying infections. - Management of Metabolic Disorders: Correcting hypoglycemia or hypocalcemia to stabilize cardiac function. - Surgical Intervention: In cases of congenital heart disease, corrective surgery may be required.
