Abstract:
The use of psychotropic medications during pregnancy causes withdrawal symptoms in 20％ ～ 30％ of newborns.The main clinical features of neonatal psychotrpic withdrawal syndrome are neurologic excitability,gastrointestinal dysfunction,respiratory symptoms and autonomic nervous dysfunctions.Because the clinical features of neonatal psychotropic withdrawal syndrome are non-specific,it was easily misdiagnosed.We should get the details of disease history in mothers,especially medication using during pregnancy,closely observe clinical symptoms,assess patients by the neonatal drug withdrawal scoring system,make laboratory test and other accessory examination,exclude other diseases.Supportive treatment is essential to this disease,pharmacologic therapy (such as phenobarbital) could be adopted if necessary.
