Apnea of prematurity

Apnea of Prematurity is a common respiratory condition affecting infants born prematurely. It is characterized by temporary pauses in breathing, also known as apnea episodes, which can be a cause of concern for new parents and healthcare providers. Premature infants have underdeveloped respiratory systems, which makes them more susceptible to apnea episodes.
Medications commonly used to treat Apnea of Prematurity include:

Nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure): A non-invasive treatment that uses gentle air pressure to keep the infant’s airways open, preventing apnea episodes.
Oxygen therapy: Supplemental oxygen may be administered to ensure adequate oxygen levels in the infant’s bloodstream.
Medications such as caffeine citrate: This medication stimulates the central nervous system, helping to reduce the frequency and duration of apnea episodes.

The products in this category are designed to assist healthcare professionals in managing Apnea of Prematurity and providing the best care for premature infants. Always consult with a healthcare professional before administering any treatment or medication to ensure the safety and well-being of the infant.
