“…Neonatal pneumonia refers to the inflammation of the lungs in children within 28 days of birth, and its cause is related to the underdevelopment of the respiratory function of the children [ 10 , 12 ]. Ineffective treatment predisposes to disease recurrence, which hinders the growth and development of the children.…”

Objective. To evaluate the diagnostic value of combined detection of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and serum C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels for neonatal pneumonia. Methods. In this prospective study, 30 newborns with pneumonia and 30 healthy newborns in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were recruited. The healthy newborns were assigned to the control group, and the newborns with pneumonia were assigned to the experimental group. All subjects underwent CDFI and measurement of the levels of serum CRP, PCT, and IL-6. The serum indices and imaging results of the two groups were analyzed, and the specificity and sensitivity of different detection methods in the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia were calculated and analyzed. Results. The levels of serum CRP, PCT, and IL-6 in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P < 0.001 ). Combined detection had a larger detection area, higher sensitivity, and a superior overall detection outcome than single detection ( P < 0.05 ). The diagnostic results of combined detection and clinical diagnosis in 30 newborns with pneumonia were similar ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion. The combined detection of CDFI and serum CRP, PCT, and IL-6 levels in the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia shows a promising diagnostic outcome, so it is worthy of clinical application.

“…Preterm birth and days on MV may be the most important risk factors along with low birth weight (Mohamed, Ali & Refaat, 2022). Additionally, severe underlying disease, use of broad spectrum antibiotics, longer hospital stay and widespread use of invasive devices and procedures also considered VAP precipitating factors (Safdar et al, 2016).…”

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a prevalent and dangerous issue among newborns who are mechanically ventilated. It is interrelated with longer hospital stays, high morbidity and mortality rate. The study aimed to assess nurses' knowledge and practice regarding prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia in neonates. Subjects and methods: Design: A descriptive cross-sectional design was applied in this study.
