Question

What are the treatment methods for neonatal hemolytic disease?

Answer

Correct neonatal acidosis; correct neonatal respiratory difficulty and aspiration, pay attention to the baby’s warmth and provide sufficient nutrition; closely monitor the progress of neonatal jaundice, monitor neonatal serum bilirubin levels to prevent the serum bilirubin from rising to the dangerous threshold of 20 mg/dL; use pharmacotherapy to accelerate bilirubin metabolism, metabolism, or increase hemolysis, such as administering adrenal cortical hormones, intravenous infusion of plasma, blood proteins, and glucose, as well as oral phenobarbital.
