What are Some Common Conditions Managed in a NICU?
Several conditions are commonly managed in the NICU, including Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and hypoglycemia. RDS is frequently seen in premature infants due to underdeveloped lungs and is treated with surfactant therapy and respiratory support. Sepsis, a severe infection, requires prompt antibiotic treatment.
