Nursing of complications of pneumonia in children

Neonatal pneumonia is a lung disease with very complex causes. Many children will have symptoms of pneumonia, which harms the health of their lungs. Therefore, we need to pay attention to neonatal pneumonia. The occurrence of this disease requires disease care. Let us now learn about the care measures for this disease.

1. The room temperature should be kept at about 20℃ to prevent respiratory secretions from drying up and being difficult to cough up. Prevent cross infection. Pay attention to nutrition and water supply; breastfeeding should be done as much as possible. If artificial feeding is used, the amount and concentration of milk can be determined according to the digestive function and condition of the child. If the child has diarrhea, skim milk should be given. For infants or children, a light, easily digestible diet rich in multiple vitamins should be provided. Children in the recovery period should be given nutritious, high-calorie food. For critically ill children who cannot eat, intravenous infusion should be given to supplement calories and water.

2. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed: Remove nasal crusts, nasal secretions and respiratory tract sputum in time. Improve ventilation function, increase alveolar ventilation, correct hypoxia, and reduce CO2 retention. For those with a lot of thin sputum, you can repeatedly turn over and pat your back to facilitate the discharge of sputum. You can also take oral expectorant drugs such as ammonium chloride mixture. For those with thick sputum that is difficult to cough up, you can suction the sputum or use ultrasonic atomization for inhalation.

After comprehensively understanding the above content, I believe that mothers know what the care methods for neonatal pneumonia are. The lungs of newborns are very fragile, which will affect the breathing of the children. We must learn more about neonatal pneumonia and strengthen the care of babies. I hope mothers can have a deeper understanding.
