A disease related to immaturity of lung tissue
May also be called Hyaline Membrane Disease
A complex disorder manifested by signs of respiratory
distress
Risk factors: prematurity, maternal DM, and stress
during delivery that produces acidosis in the neonate
Is seen almost exclusively in preterm neonates
Is associated with a high risk of long-term respiratory
and neurologic complications
Prenatal diagnosis can evaluate lung maturity
while the fetus is in utero
- Evaluation of lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio of the
amniotic fluid is performed
- Lecithin and sphingomyelin are two surfactant
phospholipids
- Evaluation of fetal lung maturity gives insight into
how the fetus will face after birth and may
precipitate treatment to delay labor or to mature
the neonate·s lungs before delivery

During pregnancy, maternal antibodies are passed via
the placenta to the fetus, causing RBC breakdown
The disorder is usually caused by ABO incompatibility
but may also be caused by Rh incompatibility

blood type differs from maternal blood type

Keep in mind that Rh sensitization can occur during
pregnancy if the cellular layer separating maternal &
fetal circulation is disrupted
Encourage the patient to feed the neonate, if
appropriate
Prepare the neonate and parents for treatment
procedures, such as phototherapy or exchange
transfusion

trachea to separate normally
There·s an abnormal connection between the trachea

Offer emotional support & guidance to parents
Encourage parents to interact w/ the neonate & hold the
neonate even with a device in place
Inform parents about the possibility of the need for surgical
correction later on when the neonate is older.

Results fro infection by the spirochete of Treponema
pallidum
Occurs when the spirochete crosses the placenta froma
pregnant infected patient to her fetus
Diagnosed with serologic tests at 3 to 6 months
The development of antibodies is necessary to make a
diagnosis

Failure to thrive
Rhinitis
Red rash around mouth and anus

Infection-control precautions
Covering of neonatal hands to minimize skin trauma
from scratching
Make sure all pregnant patients are screened for
syphilis at the first prenatal visit
Assist with laboratory testing (VDRL or rapid plasma
reagin) on neonatal cord blood ro check for intrauterine
exposure
Administer drugs as ordered

A severe eye infection that occurs in neonates at birth
or during the first few months
Results from exposure to the causative organism during
vaginal delivery
Most commonly cause by Neiserria gonorrhea or
Chlamydia trachomatis
Prophylactic administration of antibiotic ointment at
birth to all neonates is a primary preventive strategy
u
Fiery red conjunctivae
Thick purulent discharge from the eye
Eyelid edema
Corneal ulceration and destruction, if untreated
Culture of exudate reveals causative organism
O a
I.V. antibiotic therapy
Standard & contact infection ² control precautions
Sterile saline solution eye irrigation
Treatment of mother for infection
Administer prophylactic antibiotic eye ointment to all
neonates after delivery
Monitor the appearance of the eyes for redness and
drainage
Institute standard and contact precautions
Perform eye irrigation as ordered; wear goggles is
splashing is likely
Advised the mother to receive treatment for her
infection; also suggest treatment for the mother·s
sexual partners

An excessive accumulation of CSF within the
ventricular spaces of the brain
This accumulation leads to dilation of ventricles, which
causes potentially harmful pressure on the brain tissue
Compression of brain tissue and cerebral blood vessels
may lead to ischemia and, eventually, cell death

Provide meticulous skin care, repositioning the
neonate·s head often to reduce the risk of skin
breakdown
Teach the parents about the condition,
treatments and procedures
Provide the parents and family with emotional
support
Prepare the neonate for shunt insertion as
indicated; complete all preoperative procedures
and teaching
Perform postoperative care, including
positioning the neonate on the unaffected side,
monitoring the surgical site closely, and
obtaining head circumference
