Neonatal pneumonia is a common disease of the neonatal period and is an important cause of neonatal death that can occur in utero, during delivery, or after birth and is caused by bacteria, viruses, or protozoites. It occurs in utero, during labor and delivery and accounts for 0.5% of live births and 5% to 35% of neonatal autopsies. Worldwide, 2 million children die each year from neonatal pneumonia. The atypical clinical presentation is characteristic and needs to be fully recognized and not ignored for early recognition, early diagnosis and proper management. How is pneumonia in newborns treated? If your baby has pneumonia, mothers should not be alarmed and go to the hospital immediately, the medical staff will give your baby good treatment care. 1, strengthen care and intensive care: pay attention to the body temperature is not high to keep warm, maintain a moderate temperature, so that the skin temperature of the child up to 36.5 ℃, environmental humidity at 50% or more. Pay attention to opening windows and ventilation to avoid lack of air circulation. When breastfeeding, be careful not to let the child eat too fast or too quickly, and not to feed too much milk at one time to avoid choking or overflow. After feeding, gently pat the baby’s back to let him/her exhaust. 2.Oxygen inhalation: According to the condition, if the baby has difficulty in breathing and cyanosis, oxygen inhalation can be given. 3, anti-pathogenic treatment: for bacterial pneumonia in principle, early antibiotics are appropriate, intravenous administration is effective, according to the drug sensitivity test selection of antibiotics, but the causative agent of pneumonia is not easy to determine, so the use of penicillin, ampicillin, cephalexin, etc.. For viral pneumonia, Ribavirin (Ribovirin virazole) is available. For Chlamydia and Mycoplasma pneumonia, erythromycin and azithromycin are used. Very low birth weight infants and severe pneumonia can be transfused with plasma or intravenous gammaglobulin several times. 4, supply sufficient nutrition and fluids: breastfeeding to a small number of times is appropriate. If the supply of calories is insufficient, intravenous plasma, amino acids or high nutrient liquid can be supplemented. The total amount of intravenous supplemental fluids should not be too much, and the infusion speed should not be too fast. 5.Symptomatic treatment: according to the condition, cough and phlegm treatment such as Mucosolvan can be given, and if necessary, nebulized inhalation can be given to ensure a smooth airway. 6. Chest physiotherapy: postural drainage, chest percussion or vibration can be given if necessary. How to care for neonatal pneumonia? While paying attention to the diagnosis and strengthening the treatment of neonatal pneumonia, nursing care is also of great importance. 1. Environment: The indoor temperature of the newborn should be 20°C to 24°C, with relative humidity maintained at 50% to 60%, and attention should be paid to indoor air circulation to keep the air fresh, but convection should be avoided to prevent exposure to cold. 2, position: pay attention to frequent turning and changing position, take the head high lateral position, keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, in order to facilitate the discharge of secretions. 3.Feeding: supply enough heat, nutrition and water to the child. If the child is critically ill, suspend breastfeeding and medicine feeding to avoid asphyxia caused by vomiting. If the child is bruised and choking around the mouth and nose while breastfeeding, stop immediately and give oxygen. After the condition is stabilized, breastfeeding should be done in small amounts several times. 4.Oxygen inhalation: When the child has shortness of breath and bruising around the lips, oxygen should be administered immediately. 5. Sputum aspiration: In pneumonia, respiratory secretions increase, but the newborn is unresponsive and does not cough up sputum, so sputum should be aspirated in time to keep the respiratory tract open and prevent asphyxia. 6, temperature: neonatal pneumonia body temperature is more normal, if the temperature is high can use physical cooling, generally do not use antipyretic drugs, to prevent excessive sweating caused by deficiency. 7, infusion, 4 to 6 drops per minute is appropriate. To avoid aggravation of pulmonary edema or heart failure caused by too fast speed. The amount of fluid should not be too much. 8, the newborn poor responsiveness, pneumonia at the beginning often no respiratory symptoms, so we should closely observe the heart rate, breathing. If there is foam in the mouth, pale, blue around the lips, refusing milk, it means that the condition is serious, to actively rescue treatment.
