Neonatal Disorders
Neonatal disorders refer to health issues that affect newborns, typically within the first 28 days of life. These conditions can arise from various factors, including genetic abnormalities, infections, or complications during pregnancy and delivery. Common examples include premature birth, congenital heart defects, and neonatal jaundice.
Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in affected infants. Healthcare providers often monitor newborns for signs of these disorders and may use interventions such as medications, surgery, or specialized care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Timely management can significantly enhance the chances of healthy development.
