In order to overcome the challenges involved in caring for neonates affected by HI, newborns must be admitted to a Level III neonatal critical care facility and work as part of an interprofessional team. The team should also include experts in a range of disciplines, such as physical therapy, dermatology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, neonatology, genetics, occupational therapy, ophthalmology, dietician, & social work, in addition to the ICU physicians & nurses.

ICU management is primarily conciliatory. Neonates should be kept in a humid incubator in a separate room to prevent thermoregulatory problems. Sepsis and bacterial infections are serious risks for newborns. Close attention to vital signs, blood cultures in cases of hemodynamic instability and lethargy, & regular serum electrolyte testing in cases of depletion are all necessary for patients.

Transepidermal water leakage & electrolyte imbalance are caused by skin barrier loss. Clinicians must keep track of daily weight fluctuations, fluid intake, & urine output to prevent dehydration. If purulent drainage is seen, then cultures should be obtained; deep fissures may be in danger of infection. Antibiotics can be used topically for fissures.

Discomfort and pain can result from severe fissuring. NSAIDs, acetaminophen, or opioids should be used to provide adequate pain management. Moreover, because of their reduced flexibility, newborns with HI are more likely to experience feeding difficulties, pneumonia, restricted lung movement, and respiratory failure. These issues include limitations to the anterior chest-wall extension.

To maintain a patent airway, neonates who exhibit symptoms of acute breathing difficulties need to be intubated. Contractures in the hands & feet’s distal extremities are another condition that affects flexibility. Prevent compartment syndrome from epithelial constrictions & ischemia digit necrosis; these require the removal of plaque or a liberal application of moisturizers. Furthermore, ectropion necessitates ophthalmology consultation and raises the risk of exposure to keratitis.

It’s important to lubricate the eyes properly every hour using artificial tears or even other optical lubricants. Eclabium brought on by plaque tension may result in an immobile mouth & insufficient eating. For adequate calorie intake, a nasogastric tube will be needed. To encourage the shedding of stratum corneum, neonates will also need to take one to two daily baths in just water and apply mild emollients on a regular basis such as products made of petroleum.

Due to the possibility of systemic absorption, stay away from strong topical emollients. Due to the brittleness of the skin, self-adherent gauze or wraps should be used instead of tape to secure tubing or lines. The gold standard of treatment in HI includes the use of systemic retinoids together with supportive treatment & liberal usage of bland emollients. Acitretin is a systemic retinoid that accelerates the shedding of hyperkeratotic plates and lessens scaling.

It has a short half-life and a low negative effect profile. With early systemic retinoid administration, mortality & survival are improved. Early use reduces the incidence of digital necrosis and improves digital and thoracic constrictions, which in turn improve breathing & functional movement. A pre-therapeutic evaluation is necessary before starting systemic retinoid treatment, and this is followed by a series of lab tests that include a full blood count, a comprehensive metabolic panel, triglyceride, cholesterol levels, & urine.

The daily dose of acitretin is 0.5 to 1 mg/kg. Based on physical exam evaluations & side effects, acitretin should be adjusted to the lowest effective dose possible. Around six months old, systemic retinoids can be stopped. Local retinoids with 0.1% tazarotene cream are an excellent alternative for treating limb contractures and ectropion if oral medication is not tolerated. Children with HI need long-term care after the newborn stage, as well as regular follow-up care, physical & occupational treatment to maximize the range of motion, & language and speech therapy for kids who exhibit social and cognitive impairment.

To maintain a patent airway, neonates who exhibit symptoms of acute breathing difficulties need to be intubated. Contractures in the hands & feet’s distal extremities are another condition that affects flexibility. Prevent compartment syndrome from epithelial constrictions & ischemia digit necrosis; these require the removal of plaque or a liberal application of moisturizers. Furthermore, ectropion necessitates ophthalmology consultation and raises the risk of exposure to keratitis.

It’s important to lubricate the eyes properly every hour using artificial tears or even other optical lubricants. Eclabium brought on by plaque tension may result in an immobile mouth & insufficient eating. For adequate calorie intake, a nasogastric tube will be needed. To encourage the shedding of stratum corneum, neonates will also need to take one to two daily baths in just water and apply mild emollients on a regular basis such as products made of petroleum.

Due to the possibility of systemic absorption, stay away from strong topical emollients. Due to the brittleness of the skin, self-adherent gauze or wraps should be used instead of tape to secure tubing or lines. The gold standard of treatment in HI includes the use of systemic retinoids together with supportive treatment & liberal usage of bland emollients. Acitretin is a systemic retinoid that accelerates the shedding of hyperkeratotic plates and lessens scaling.

It has a short half-life and a low negative effect profile. With early systemic retinoid administration, mortality & survival are improved. Early use reduces the incidence of digital necrosis and improves digital and thoracic constrictions, which in turn improve breathing & functional movement. A pre-therapeutic evaluation is necessary before starting systemic retinoid treatment, and this is followed by a series of lab tests that include a full blood count, a comprehensive metabolic panel, triglyceride, cholesterol levels, & urine.

The daily dose of acitretin is 0.5 to 1 mg/kg. Based on physical exam evaluations & side effects, acitretin should be adjusted to the lowest effective dose possible. Around six months old, systemic retinoids can be stopped. Local retinoids with 0.1% tazarotene cream are an excellent alternative for treating limb contractures and ectropion if oral medication is not tolerated. Children with HI need long-term care after the newborn stage, as well as regular follow-up care, physical & occupational treatment to maximize the range of motion, & language and speech therapy for kids who exhibit social and cognitive impairment.

In order to overcome the challenges involved in caring for neonates affected by HI, newborns must be admitted to a Level III neonatal critical care facility and work as part of an interprofessional team. The team should also include experts in a range of disciplines, such as physical therapy, dermatology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, neonatology, genetics, occupational therapy, ophthalmology, dietician, & social work, in addition to the ICU physicians & nurses.

ICU management is primarily conciliatory. Neonates should be kept in a humid incubator in a separate room to prevent thermoregulatory problems. Sepsis and bacterial infections are serious risks for newborns. Close attention to vital signs, blood cultures in cases of hemodynamic instability and lethargy, & regular serum electrolyte testing in cases of depletion are all necessary for patients.

Transepidermal water leakage & electrolyte imbalance are caused by skin barrier loss. Clinicians must keep track of daily weight fluctuations, fluid intake, & urine output to prevent dehydration. If purulent drainage is seen, then cultures should be obtained; deep fissures may be in danger of infection. Antibiotics can be used topically for fissures.

Discomfort and pain can result from severe fissuring. NSAIDs, acetaminophen, or opioids should be used to provide adequate pain management. Moreover, because of their reduced flexibility, newborns with HI are more likely to experience feeding difficulties, pneumonia, restricted lung movement, and respiratory failure. These issues include limitations to the anterior chest-wall extension.
