AB Neonates  are  infants  ≤1  month  old,  or  preterm  infants  within  30  days  of  their  term  due  date.  Symptoms  that  precipitate  ED  visits  in  neonates  are  often  vague  and  nonspecific.  Signs  are  usually  subtle  and  may  not  point  to  a  specific  diagnosis.  For  example,  respiratory  distress  can  be  caused  by  pulmonary  or  cardiac  disease,  generalized  sepsis,  abdominal  pathology,  or  metabolic  disorders.  Many  visits  occur  because  of  caregiver  concerns  about  normal  variants  of  newborn  vegetative  functions.  Such  concerns  must  be  distinguished  from  potentially  life-threatening  congenital  and  acquired  conditions  that  can  present  in  the  first  month  of  life.  This  chapter  reviews  normal  neonatal  vegetative  patterns,  life-threatening  neonatal  emergencies,  and  common  neonatal  problems.
