EDUCATORS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: CHALLENGES AND TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

Obstetric Diseases and Neonatal Respiratory Complications are complex clinical issues that require effective strategies to ensure better fetal outcomes. The interrelationship between maternal conditions such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and neonatal respiratory complications such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPH) has been the subject of intensive study in the scientific literature. These conditions can adversely affect fetal and neonatal development, resulting in significant morbidity and even neonatal mortality. Objective: To investigate best clinical management practices for obstetric diseases that minimize neonatal respiratory complications, aiming to improve fetal outcomes. Methodology: The review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The PubMed, Scielo and Webof Science databases were consulted, using the descriptors: "obstetric diseases", "neonatal respiratory complications", "clinical management", "fetal outcomes", "systematic review". Inclusion criteria involved studies published in the last 10 years, focused on clinical management strategies for obstetric diseases and their correlations with neonatal respiratory complications. Exclusion criteria were studies not fully available, case reports and studies with small, non-representative samples. Results: The analysis of the studies revealed that strategies such as strict control of maternal glycemia in cases of gestational diabetes and early management of pre-eclampsia can reduce incidences of RDS and PPH. Furthermore, interventions such as antenatal administration of corticosteroids have been shown to be effective in preventing neonatal respiratory complications associated with obstetric diseases. Conclusion: Appropriate clinical management strategies for obstetric diseases can significantly improve fetal outcomes by reducing neonatal respiratory complications. Early implementation of evidence-based interventions is crucial to mitigate the risks associated with these maternal conditions and improve neonatal health.
