Apnea of Prematurity SIMPLE Explanation l Paediatrics Tutorial 

Welcome back paediatric squads!
In this video I explained the definition, pathophysiology, presentations, causes, investigations and management of apnea of prematurity.
Apnea of prematurity is a very common disease in preterm baby, we can always encounter this in NICU, this is a bread and butter in neonatology.
Apnea of prematurity is a diagnosis of exclusion, we need to rule out other differential diagnosis of apnea in preterm baby eg. necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, hypoglycemia, anemia, intraventricular haemorrhage etc.
We can treat this with respiratory support eg. CPAP, mechanical ventilation. Also we can give caffeine to these babies.
The prognosis of apnea of prematurity is generally good. Usually it resolves by the time of 37 weeks of gestation.
