Question
What causes neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage? What are the treatment methods?
Answer
Pulmonary hemorrhage is a severe condition in newborns that can be caused by various diseases. Early diagnosis is extremely challenging, and once symptoms appear, the mortality rate is extremely high. The focus of treatment is on early detection, and timely measures should be taken for infants who may experience recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage. At birth, the baby’s body should be quickly dried to maintain body temperature, and nasal cannula or oxygen mask should be used to provide oxygen. Fluid volume should be controlled to prevent pulmonary edema and heart failure, and metabolic acidosis should be corrected.
