When is Needle Aspiration Used in Neonatal Disorders?
Needle aspiration is used in various scenarios involving neonates, including:
Pleural Effusion: Accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity may require aspiration to relieve respiratory distress. Pneumothorax: Air trapped in the pleural space can collapse the lung, necessitating immediate needle aspiration to re-expand the lung. Ascites: Fluid accumulation in the abdomen might need to be aspirated for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Abscess: Infections that lead to abscess formation may require drainage through needle aspiration to prevent further complications.
