What should be done about intubation in newborn pneumonia

Patient's question:

Neonatal pneumonia intubation. The baby's respiratory rate is over 70. It's necessary to use a ventilator. Do you need to intubate? The doctor has already intubated the baby. When can the tube be removed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. It's a pleasure to assist you: The timing for removing the ventilator depends on the changes in the child's condition. If the systemic infection and pulmonary infection can be controlled in a timely manner, and if fluid therapy and nutritional therapy are provided, the child will recover within 6-7 days. It depends on the severity. If it's not serious, it may not be necessary. If it's severe, intubation is required. I recommend that you seek treatment at a professional hospital.
