Neonatal Pulmonology

Neonatal pulmonology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the respiratory health of newborns, particularly those born prematurely or with breathing difficulties. Neonatologists, who are doctors specializing in caring for newborns, diagnose and treat conditions like pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, and congenital lung issues. They use various techniques, such as oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation, to support the baby's breathing. The goal is to ensure that these vulnerable infants can breathe effectively, promoting their overall health and development during the critical early days and weeks of life.
