Infection Prevention and Management

Infection prevention and management in neonates, especially those in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), are critical aspects of neonatal care. Newborns, particularly preterm and low birth weight infants, are highly susceptible to infections due to their immature immune systems. Effective strategies for preventing and managing infections are essential to reducing morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable population.

Infection prevention in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) relies on several key practices to protect vulnerable infants. Rigorous hand hygiene is essential for healthcare providers, parents, and visitors to prevent the spread of infections. Strict aseptic techniques are used during invasive procedures, along with routine environmental cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment. Screening for infectious agents like MRSA and respiratory viruses, along with appropriate isolation protocols, helps manage and prevent cross-contamination. Antibiotic stewardship ensures the judicious use of antibiotics to avoid resistance. Additionally, promoting breastfeeding and maintaining maternal health through vaccination and infection screening are crucial strategies to bolster neonatal immunity and reduce infection risk.
