Why Are Bronchodilators Important in Neonatal Care?
Neonates, particularly preterm infants, often face respiratory challenges due to underdeveloped lungs. Conditions like Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) and Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS) may necessitate the use of bronchodilators. By relaxing the airway muscles, these medications can improve ventilation and oxygenation, which are critical for the survival and long-term health of these infants.
