How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical exam of the newborn
- Blood tests to check for infection
- Urine tests to check for infection
- Culture tests to identify the type of bacteria causing the infection
- Imaging tests such as X-rays or CT scans to check for organ damage
- Liver function tests to assess liver damage
- Kidney function tests to assess kidney damage
- Antibiotic sensitivity tests to determine the best treatment for the infection
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Reduce the severity of the sepsis and prevent further complications.
- Administer antibiotics to treat the infection.
- Provide supportive care, such as oxygen, fluids, and nutrition.
- Monitor vital signs, including temperature, heart rate, and breathing rate.
- Monitor for signs of organ failure, such as changes in urine output or mental status.
- Perform laboratory tests, such as blood cultures, to identify the cause of the infection.
- Perform imaging tests, such as X-rays or CT scans, to identify any areas of infection.
- Evaluate the infant for any underlying conditions, such as congenital heart defects.
- Provide supportive care, such as pain relief and temperature control.
- Monitor for signs of complications, such as septic shock or meningitis.
