Renaud Smith Annette Carley Common Neonatal Complications

چکیده
Most newborns with complications are identified and cared for in community hospitals or level II perinatal centers (American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], 2012). Perinatal nurses must have a thorough understanding of pathophysiologic and clinical signs of illness during the immediate newborn period. The length of stay limits the time to identify behavioral cues or subtle changes that could potentially compromise newborn well-being. Conditions discussed in this chapter include common complications such as respiratory distress, congenital heart disease (CHD), hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and sepsis. Less common but important topics include neonatal resuscitation, perinatal HIV-1 exposure, neonatal substance exposure, and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The target population is term and preterm newborn infants, including the late preterm infant born between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks’ gestational age. This chapter concludes with a discussion of neonatal transport because, in some cases, the severity of the disease process necessitates transfer to a tertiary care center.
