Insights
Managing extreme prematurity requires a multidisciplinary team to address complications like infections and growth restriction. This case report emphasizes the team approach for high-risk newborns needing intensive care and mechanical ventilation.
Area of Science:
- Neonatology
- Perinatology
- Pediatric Critical Care
Background:
- Extreme prematurity presents significant challenges and risks for newborns.
- Complications include maternal-fetal infections, intrauterine growth restriction, and comorbidities linked to early gestational age.
- High-risk pregnancies necessitate specialized care for extremely preterm infants.
Abstract:
Extreme prematurity involves a series of complications that a multidisciplinary team should manage. Taking into account the risks related to premature newborns, such as maternal-fetal infections, intrauterine growth restriction, and certain comorbidities associated with young gestational age, our objective is to highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary team in approaching cases with an unfavorable prognosis. This is a case report of an extremely preterm newborn who came from a high-risk pregnancy and needed long-term hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and mechanical ventilation.
