Severe immaturity in very preterm infants is also a cause of lack of spontaneous breathing at birth Low Birth Weight (LBW) or Very LBW Exposed to birth asphyxia, trauma, hypothermia, hypoglycaemia, respiratory disorders and infections Preterm infants, of an intrauterine growth retardation (small for gestational age infants) or of both. Infections Clinically relevant severe bacterial infections (SBI) in newborn babies is represented by pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis Asphyxia and hypothermia also are risk factors for SBI Congenital Anomalies About 11.5% of all newborns Pencegahan : Pemberian asam folat, imunisasi rubella, menghindari alkohol, obat- obatan, radiasi dan polusi lingkungan) selama kehamilan, diagnosis dini dengan USG skrining pada kasus risiko Hypothermia As body temperature below 36.5c Particularly in LBW babies Inadequate thermo regulation Breastfeeding Oxygen consumption and acid- base equilibrium
