Sinopse
In this episode, we continue our discussion of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), focusing on clinical features, treatment, and care after discharge. Our host, Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Camille Fung, MD review the signs and symptoms clinicians use to recognize and assess withdrawal, along with current approaches to medication management and supportive care in the hospital setting. The conversation also addresses discharge planning, including criteria for safe transition home and coordination with caregivers. Finally, we explore the important role of the primary care pediatrician in follow-up—monitoring growth and development, supporting families, and coordinating ongoing services to promote the best possible outcomes for these infants.
