Abstract:
Fetus near viability approaching hospitals for care is increasing in number in India. However, the lack of evidence and experience may make an obstetrician reluctant to treat fetuses of 22-26 weeks gestation. The present case demonstrates the intact survival of a 23.5-week-old baby with a multidisciplinary approach. Moreover, we have tried to summarize our hospital protocol for obstetrics and neonatal management to optimize the outcome.
