Saxe Communications and Philips* present… “Recognition and Management of the Neonate with Pneumonia”
Pneumonia in a newborn can be very difficult to differentiate from respiratory distress syndrome. More specifically, late-onset pneumonia is commonly thought to be related to other etiologies. This webinar will discuss the etiology of early—and late—onset pneumonia and identify common pathogens that are responsible for the illness. Pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, management and complications will also be presented.
Learning Objectives | Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Differentiate early-onset pneumonia from late on-set pneumonia
- Discuss the signs and symptoms associated with pneumonia
- Identify necessary diagnostic testing to establish a diagnosis of pneumonia
- Formulate a plan of care for the neonate with pneumonia that includes treatment strategies
- Discuss the complications associated with pneumonia and how they may impact the severity of the disorder
