How is neonatal pneumonia formed?

summary

Lung lesions and atypical clinical manifestations are its characteristics. The key for the baby infected with neonatal pneumonia is early detection and timely treatment. Most of the neonatal pneumonia is caused by postnatal infection, which is called late-onset pneumonia. It is mainly transmitted to the newborn through droplets after the family members who have close contact with the newborn have a cold or respiratory tract infection; How is neonatal pneumonia formed? Let's talk about it

How is neonatal pneumonia formed?

Patients with aspiration pneumonia, amniotic fluid and meconium aspiration have a history of asphyxia. They have shortness of breath or dyspnea with cyanosis and groan after resuscitation or birth. Patients with meconium aspiration are often in a serious condition, which can cause respiratory failure, atelectasis, emphysema, pulmonary hypertension and central nervous system manifestations of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (see meconium aspiration syndrome). Once complicated with pneumothorax, mediastinal emphysema, pneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumothora, The patient's condition changes suddenly and even dies. Those who inhale milk often have choking cough, milk flowing out from mouth and nose, accompanied by shortness of breath and cyanosis. In severe cases, it can lead to asphyxia.

Intrauterine infection early onset, also known as early-onset pneumonia, is a part of systemic sepsis, occurs at birth or within a few hours after birth, mostly within 24 hours after delivery, the baby is born with asphyxia, after resuscitation can be seen breathing fast, groan, temperature instability, poor response, gradually appear? In severe cases, respiratory failure may occur. Patients with bloodstream infection often lack lung signs, while patients with jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, meningitis and other multiple system involvement are the main ones. Patients with amniotic fluid infection often have obvious dyspnea and lung sounds.

Intrapartum infectious pneumonia is usually acquired at birth. It takes several days to several weeks before onset. For example, bacterial pneumonia usually occurs 3-5 hours after birth. Herpes virus infection usually presents symptoms 5-10 days after delivery, while Chlamydia infection has an incubation period of 3-12 weeks. The clinical manifestations of children with intrapartum pneumonia vary greatly due to different pathogens, And prone to systemic infection.

matters needing attention

After birth: the living space should be clean and comfortable, the quilt and diaper should be soft and clean, the nursing equipment should be disinfected, the parents and nursing staff should pay attention to the hygiene, wash hands, avoid contacting the cold patients, if the mother has a cold, she should wear a mask to feed the baby, when the child has omphalitis or skin infection, it should be treated immediately to prevent the spread of bacteria.
