"Neonatal Sepsis: Early Detection and Nursing Interventions for Improved Survival"

Abstract: Neonatal sepsis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns worldwide, especially in low-resource settings. Early detection and prompt nursing interventions are crucial for improving outcomes. This review explores the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and nursing management of neonatal sepsis. Emphasis is placed on the role of nurses in early recognition, timely intervention, and infection prevention strategies. Evidence-based nursing practices, including neonatal monitoring, antibiotic administration, and supportive care, are discussed. Enhanced nursing education and adherence to infection control protocols can significantly reduce neonatal sepsis-related deaths.
