The burden falls disproportionately on infants younger than 12 months of age, with devastating impacts on health care systems worldwide. Prevention strategies have evolved from early vaccine attempts through first-generation monoclonal antibodies to current next-generation antibodies with extended half-lives and novel vaccination approaches in pregnant persons. These recent advances demonstrate unprecedented efficacy, with clinical trials showing reduction rates exceeding 70% in RSV-associated hospitalizations across diverse infant populations. Although economic analyses suggest favorable cost-benefit ratios, implementation raises important considerations regarding health care delivery systems and global access equity. This comprehensive review synthesizes evidence-based guidelines, evaluates implementation challenges, and explores future directions for RSV prevention, with particular attention to regional variations in health care delivery and emerging challenges from changing climate patterns affecting RSV seasonality.</p>","PeriodicalId":19465,"journal":{"name":"NeoReviews","volume":"26 10","pages":"e704-e711"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145200457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CDH is commonly associated with pulmonary hypertension, impaired myocardial function, and adverse cardiorespiratory interactions, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Effective pharmacotherapy must address these interconnected factors while minimizing complications or side effects. Despite limited randomized controlled trial data specific to CDH, recent reports highlight the benefits of a precision medicine approach, focusing on individualized treatments based on evolving pathophysiology. Therapeutic interventions primarily involve pulmonary vasodilators, inotropes and vasopressors, prostaglandins, and corticosteroids; each agent has a distinct physiologic effect, and use needs to be tailored to the specific patient pathophysiology. Targeted neonatal echocardiography has emerged as a valuable tool for optimizing treatment decisions by providing real-time insights into ventricular performance and hemodynamic status. In this review, we explore the shift from a generalized pharmacological approach to targeted interventions based on evolving patient physiology. We discuss key therapeutic principles and the role of different drug classes in optimizing the management of infants with CDH throughout their intensive care journey.</p>","PeriodicalId":19465,"journal":{"name":"NeoReviews","volume":"26 10","pages":"e660-e678"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145200522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early recognition and treatment of these symptoms can decrease morbidity and mortality.

Familiarity with the pharmacologic concepts and therapies used to target different pathophysiological mechanisms of pain and agitation will increase the neonatal clinician's ability to effectively use and tailor these medications to each patient's needs. In this review, we summarize the pathophysiology, impact, assessment, and management options for each symptom so clinicians can individualize care and use targeted pharmacologic therapies to effectively and safely treat symptoms in various clinical scenarios. We also discuss the importance of protocol use to ensure judicious medication initiation and titration to minimize long-term neurodevelopmental effects of pain, agitation, delirium, and their associated pharmacotherapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":19465,"journal":{"name":"NeoReviews","volume":"26 10","pages":"e679-e703"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145200561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
