Before and during pregnancy, women can be screened and treated for syphilis and vaccinated against diseases like tetanus. In addition to preventing subsequent infection in the newborn, treating maternal infections during pregnancy \u2013 such as antibiotics for prolonged, preterm rupture of membranes or chorioamnionitis -- can also greatly reduce the risk for preterm birth, a leading cause of newborn mortality as well as prevent serious newborn infection.\r\n\r\nClean birth practices reduce the rate of newborn infections at home and implementation of consistent, high-quality infection control practices reduces newborn infections in facility settings. Hygienic umbilical cord care, including using a sterile instrument to cut the cord and, when appropriate and per national guidelines, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/issue\/chlorhexidine-for-umbilical-cord-care\/\">applying chlorhexidine to the newborn cord stump<\/a>, can also reduce infection and preventable death. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/issue\/breastfeeding-and-feeding-of-small-and-sick-newborns\/\">Early and exclusive breastfeeding<\/a> also reduces the likelihood of newborn infections in several ways, including providing critical support to boost immune system development and avoiding the introduction of potentially harmful substances to the immature gut.\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1453407008439{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}\"][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=\"Management\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]WHO recommends that newborns and young infants should be hospitalized when they have signs of possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/issue\/treatment-of-possible-severe-bacterial-infection\/\">serious bacterial infection, and treated<\/a> with 7 days of a combination of injectable antibiotics \u2013 gentaminin and ampicillin (or penicillin). In many or most low and middle-income countries (LMICs), such hospital-based treatment is not routinely feasible for many families for a number of cultural, geographic, and financial barriers. In these circumstances, recent evidence has led WHO to recommend outpatient antibiotics to such newborns and young infants to successfully treat the illness. The recommended antibiotic course is a combination of injectable and oral antibiotics: 2 days of once-daily gentamicin combined with 7 days of twice-daily oral amoxicillin. A follow up visit at 4 days of treatment is recommended to ensure adherence to the antibiotics and to ensure improvement in the newborn\u2019s condition. When referral from outpatient facility to hospital is accepted by families, the health center provider should ensure that the newborn or young infant is first given a dose of gentamicin and amoxicillin since even short delays in initiation of treatment can mean the difference between life and death.\r\n\r\nSaving newborn lives from life-threatening infections is now indeed feasible, acceptable, and effective in reducing preventable newborn and young infant deaths, and should be a top public health priority.\r\n\r\n<strong>Key Resources:\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25274969\/\">Respiratory Distress in the Newborn <\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everypreemie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/SafeOxygen_english_7.6.17.pdf\">Safe and effective oxygen use for inpatient care of newborns<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everypreemie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/InfectionPrevention_english_7.6.17.pdf\">Safe and effective infection prevention for inpatient newborn care<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everypreemie.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DNH_TechBrief_MgmtNewbornInfection_7.15.19.pdf\">Management of newborn infections during inpatient care<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/pr2013207\">Neonatal severe bacterial infection impairment estimates in South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America for 2010<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","post_title":"Severe infections","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"severe-infections","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-18 14:43:52","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-18 18:43:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=issue&p=126","menu_order":0,"post_type":"issue","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":134,"post_author":"7211","post_date":"2015-10-21 15:20:44","post_date_gmt":"2015-10-21 15:20:44","post_content":"[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1453403441710{margin-top: -60px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>The first hours and days after birth are the riskiest for both mothers and newborns.<\/h2>\r\nThere are important interventions and practices during this period that can reduce these risks.

Broadly, the major elements of postnatal care include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>counseling and health education on recognition of danger signs and appropriate care-seeking (for both mother and newborn)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>counseling and health education on routine care practices such as exclusive breastfeeding and good thermal care practices<\/li>\r\n \t<li>dispensing and related counseling for routine preventive interventions (such as chlorhexidine for cord-stump care and postnatal iron supplementation)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>assessment and case-management and referral for any identified complications or risk conditions<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIt is through the same contacts that we have opportunities to improve outcomes for both mother and newborn, so programs and services\u00a0should focus on needed care for both. This more integrated perspective is reflected in the most recent guidance from\u00a0the World Health Organization\u00a0(see Resources below).\r\n\r\nHome visitation by community health workers has been promoted as a postnatal care strategy based on promising pilots in South Asia that demonstrated potential for reducing newborn deaths. However, it has proven difficult to achieve comparable benefits under more routine conditions at scale.\r\n\r\nWith the marked increases in institutional deliveries seen in many settings in recent years, there is increasing attention being given to taking better advantage of the time before discharge to ensure delivery of key aspects of postnatal care. Challenges to taking optimal advantage of this contact include the very high volume of births in some centers and the common practice of early discharge.\r\n\r\nFollow-up visits to the health facility for postnatal care can provide an important opportunity to ensure assessment, care, and provision of important counseling. Suitable timing and content of such care will depend on the overall configuration of postnatal care services specific to the setting.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=\"Key
