Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome Treatment involves the use of bronchodilators to help infant breathe
Neonatal respiratory distress
syndrome is defined as any neonatal respiratory illness that causes breathing
or both from the lungs of the infant. It is the most common pediatric ailment
in the United States. The ailment can be caused by a variety of causes, such as
bacterial infections, viral infections, congenital anomalies, and genetic
conditions. However, it is mainly caused by the effects of viral and allergic
reactions to inhaled allergens. These can include coughs, wheezes, sore
throats, and difficulty breathing. Around 1% of newborn infants develop
respiratory distress syndrome.
Neonatal
respiratory distress syndrome treatment involves hospitalization and emergency care for the
infant. Treatment options are based on the severity of symptoms, duration of
illness, and age of the infant, and potential risk factors. These treatment
options also depend on other factors such as the location of the respiratory
illness, and comorbidities with other illnesses. Neonatal respiratory distress
syndrome treatments often include the use of bronchodilators to help the infant
to breathe and steroids to alleviate any inflammation of the airways. There are
various types of pumps, including ventilators that may be used for treatment.
Each infant will respond to treatment
differently, so the best treatment will be one that the infant is comfortable
with and is able to tolerate. If the syndrome is caught early enough, there is
a good chance that it can be successfully treated. In some cases, however, the
condition may have progressed to point toward more serious problems. There are
several types of drugs that may be recommended in order to treat NSD. These
include medications used to control seizures and general anxiety, as well as
drugs used to treat convulsions. Drugs such as Zoloft (Sertraline), Elavil
(Pentasam), and Lexapro (Anafranil) have been proven to be effective in
controlling these symptoms, although the effectiveness is not fully understood.
