Anastasia Tean is a neonatologist-reanimatologist with over 6 years of experience. She assists, monitors, and treats premature or full-term newborns from the first moments after birth until 28 days of age.
What are the responsibilities and basic functions of a neonatologist-reanimatologist?
– Resuscitation of newborns
– Monitoring vital functions and adaption process of the baby to external conditions
– Diagnosis, management, and treatment of pathologies/conditions that may be present or may occur in infants in the first month of life, such as prematurity, neonatal jaundice, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal infections, congenital anomalies, and others
– Educating parents about natural and artificial feeding, proper care of children, neuro-physical development milestones, and management of abdominal colic
Dr. Tean can consult you in situations such as:
– Appearance of skin rashes
– Signs of infection/temperature > 37.5°C
– Information, questions about the correct breastfeeding or feeding of the newborn
– Premature newborns, whose organs and adaptation mechanisms are insufficiently developed and are therefore proned to different risks
– Injuries and complications occurring during birth
– Genetic diseases, congenital anomalies
– Skin/mucous membranes of yellow color or neonatal jaundice
You should contact a neonatologist specialist in case of any deviations in the behavior of the newborn, symptoms of various illnesses, and signs of discomfort. You should understand that a child cannot express what bothers them, and conditions that threaten health and life can develop rapidly at such a young age. Pay special attention to signs of danger – unable to breastfeed, unable to drink or eat, vomiting, convulsions, signs of lethargy/alteration of consciousness.
