This chapter explores the prevention of neonatal respiratory complications, with a specific focus on obstetric management strategies. It begins by examining the most prevalent respiratory conditions affecting newborns, such as respiratory distress syndrome and transient tachypnoea, alongside their associated risk factors, including preterm birth and maternal health issues. The chapter then discusses evidence-based prevention strategies, emphasising the importance of early intervention by both obstetric and neonatal teams. Through the integration of diagnostic imaging, clinical frameworks, and a preventive approach, the chapter highlights the value of initiating these strategies during the prenatal period to minimise postnatal respiratory challenges. A key theme is fostering collaboration between obstetricians and neonatologists to ensure seamless continuity of care. By equipping healthcare providers with practical tools and insights, this chapter aims to reduce the incidence of neonatal respiratory disorders and improve outcomes for newborns through a multidisciplinary approach.

摘要

This chapter explores the prevention of neonatal respiratory complications, with a specific focus on obstetric management strategies. It begins by examining the most prevalent respiratory conditions affecting newborns, such as respiratory distress syndrome and transient tachypnoea, alongside their associated risk factors, including preterm birth and maternal health issues. The chapter then discusses evidence-based prevention strategies, emphasising the importance of early intervention by both obstetric and neonatal teams. Through the integration of diagnostic imaging, clinical frameworks, and a preventive approach, the chapter highlights the value of initiating these strategies during the prenatal period to minimise postnatal respiratory challenges. A key theme is fostering collaboration between obstetricians and neonatologists to ensure seamless continuity of care. By equipping healthcare providers with practical tools and insights, this chapter aims to reduce the incidence of neonatal respiratory disorders and improve outcomes for newborns through a multidisciplinary approach.
