Extreme Fetal Immaturity
Extreme Immaturity of Fetus

Presentation

Summary These tables present data on deaths that occurred before one completed year of life, and which were registered with Births, Deaths and Marriages in 2010. [health.govt.nz]

The diagnosis of PROM is assumed if one of the following is present: Amniotic fluid appears to be escaping from the cervix. Vernix or meconium is visible. [merckmanuals.com]

In some cases, the umbilical cord may also slip out of the birth canal in front of the baby, becoming compressed between the presenting part of the baby (usually the head) and the mother’s vaginal canal. This is known as cord prolapse. [abclawcenters.com]

Infants with TTN and pneumonia or meconium aspiration may have similar clinical presentations. [anestesiarianimazione.com]

All infants presenting with symptoms and signs of ABE should receive immediate exchange transfusion. [pathophys.org]

Entire Body System

  • Malnutrition

    Small-for-dates Small-and-light-for-dates P05.2 Fetal malnutrition without mention of light or small for gestational age Infant, not light or small for gestational age, showing signs of fetal malnutrition, such as dry, peeling skin and loss of subcutaneous [apps.who.int]

    This equates to rates of 5.5 deaths per 1000 live births in 2010, and 5.2 in 2009 Cause The most common specified case of fetal death was ‘slow fetal growth and fetal malnutrition’ (10.0%). [health.govt.nz]

    Code 765.2x should not be assigned on all newborn records; it should only be assigned as a secondary diagnosis when the newborn infant is diagnosed with extreme immaturity (765.0x), prematurity (765.1x), or slow fetal growth and malnutrition (category [fortherecordmag.com]

    […] for gestational age, 1250-1499 grams P0516Newborn small for gestational age, 1500-1749 grams P0517Newborn small for gestational age, 1750-1999 grams P0518Newborn small for gestational age, 2000-2499 grams P052Newborn affected by fetal (intrauterine) malnutrition [cms.gov]

  • Crying

    Other symptoms may include: Blue skin color, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing (signs of immature lungs or heart failure) Poor sucking, lethargy, weak cry, seizures (signs of severe low blood sugar) Poor feeding Puffy face Tremors or shaking shortly after [medlineplus.gov]

    At delivery, the infant was noted to have a lusty cry. Apgar scores were 6 and 6 at one and five minutes, respectively due to poor respiratory effort, decreased tone and decreased response to stimulation. [hawaii.edu]

    A high-pitched cry is heard. Untreated, this can progress to deep stupor or coma, seizures, apnea, and increased tone (retrocollis-opisthotonus [extreme arching of the neck and back]). [pathophys.org]

    It's normal for full-term infants to cry for up to 3 hours a day by 6 weeks after their due date. Most premature infants will do the same and then some. [northshore.org]

    Although full-term newborns (neonate) have basic needs (warmth, milk), they are generally capable of sustained breathing, crying when hungry, sucking from a nipple, digesting milk, and complex physiological functions, including gas exchange, blood pressure [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Developmental Delay

    Problems that a baby born too early may have include Breathing problems Feeding difficulties Cerebral palsy Developmental delay Vision problems Hearing problems Preemies need special medical care in a neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU. [icdlist.com]

    Some common complications of prematurity include breathing trouble/apnea, intracranial hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, vision problems, intestinal problems, developmental delays, and learning disabilities. [fortherecordmag.com]

    Children who experienced premature birth may be more likely than full-term infants to have certain behavioral or psychological problems, as well as developmental delays. Chronic health issues. [mayoclinic.org]

    Furthermore, infant growth trajectories and milestones should be monitored to allow early detection of developmental delays, thereby providing the opportunity for early interventions when they are most effective. [dana.org]

  • Swelling

    For infants without any specific diagnosis, we offer supportive treatment as we give the baby time to reabsorb all the edema (fluid from swelling). [chw.org]

    Premature infants may develop retinopathy of prematurity, a disease that occurs when blood vessels swell and overgrow in the light-sensitive layer of nerves at the back of the eye (retina). [mayoclinic.org]

    If the rate of red cell destruction exceeds the rate of production it results in fetal anaemia which, if severe, can lead to fetal heart failure, fluid retention and swelling (hydrops). [patient.info]

    Renal vein thrombosis or clotting of the vessel draining blood from the kidney, causing the kidney to swell, is rare; however, it can occur before or after birth in IDMs. [pediatricweb.com]

  • Weakness

    These drugs, though not without some risk, help prevent breathing problems and vein hemorrhages, especially in very small infants with weak systems. [cbsnews.com]

    Babies with Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) may be born early or full-term; premature babies with IUGR may be very small and physically immature, and full-term babies with IUGR may be physically mature but weak. [childrenshospital.org]

    Other symptoms may include: Blue skin color, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing (signs of immature lungs or heart failure) Poor sucking, lethargy, weak cry, seizures (signs of severe low blood sugar) Poor feeding Puffy face Tremors or shaking shortly after [medlineplus.gov]

    Both lack mineralocorticoid activity and have relatively weak immunosuppressive activity with short-term use. [acog.org]

Gastrointestinal

  • Vomiting

    Yet, excessive vomiting should not be brushed off. Lack of food hinders normal fetal growth and has devastating effects on the mother’s health. [babygaga.com]

    […] of newborn P9209Other vomiting of newborn P921Regurgitation and rumination of newborn P922Slow feeding of newborn P923Underfeeding of newborn P924Overfeeding of newborn P925Neonatal difficulty in feeding at breast P928Other feeding problems of newborn [cms.gov]

    Continuous gastric feedings via infusion pump have the advantage of preventing vomiting and aspiration and abdominal distention associated with intermittent feedings of larger amounts. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  • Diarrhea

    Common signs and symptoms of premature labor that occur in the mother include contractions that occur more than six times per hour; low, dull backache; pelvic pressure or pain; diarrhea; vaginal spotting or bleeding; and watery vaginal discharge, which [fortherecordmag.com]

Workup

An additional workup for hyperbilirubinemia may include: Blood group and direct Coombs testing in babies who are at risk of Rh or ABO isoimmunization. [pathophys.org]

[…] genetic physician or genetic counselor who will be evaluating your family health history for possible inheritable conditions that would cause hydrops Any other specialists as necessary to address underlying issues or abnormalities uncovered by the overall workup [chw.org]

From a practical viewpoint, when one is confronted with a fetus with IUGR, an etiologic workup is in order, and close fetal surveillance with ultrasonography is necessary. [glowm.com]

Treatment

The only treatment for mirror syndrome is immediate delivery of the baby How do you treat hydrops fetalis? Treatment for hydrops depends on the determined cause, if any. [chw.org]

[…] a complication of the treatment is Figure C 5 The chest x-ray would reveal ground glass opacities and the fundoscopic image depicting a complication of the treatment is Figure B M1 Select Answer to see Preferred Response PREFERRED RESPONSE 5 (M1.PL.75 [medbullets.com]

Treatment For Premature Rupture Of The Membranes (PROM) Treatment for PROM at Term In a term pregnancy where PROM has occurred, allowing labor to occur spontaneously is often the standard of care. [abclawcenters.com]

Treatment should be stopped once total bilirubin is below the treatment threshold. Phototherapy is usually able to decrease bilirubin by 17-34 umol/L within 4-6 hours. [pathophys.org]

Prognosis

It is important to remember the complication of hydrops has a poor prognosis of survival except for those cases that have a definite cause with established fetal treatment. What is my baby's long-term prognosis? Long-term prognosis is guarded. [chw.org]

Prognosis: Prognosis is excellent. Asthma: Schaubel et al looked at neonatal characteristics as risk factors for preschool asthma. [anestesiarianimazione.com]

Conclusion Prenatal diagnosis and ultrasonographic follow-up are needed for the good prognosis of sacrococcygeal teratomas. [oapublishinglondon.com]

The cardiologist must present both the pre and postnatal prognosis of the disease. This information should be objective, based on local as well as other centers’ experience. [revespcardiol.org]

Portal vein thrombosis and portal hypertension may occur in children undergoing exchange transfusion. [ 12 ] One meta-analysis showed a significant link between feto-maternal rhesus incompatibility and schizophrenia. [ 13 ] Prognosis Overall survival [patient.info]

Etiology

(Phototherapy) Treatment depends on the severity of hyperbilirubinemia, its etiology, and the risk of developing serious neurological complications. Phototherapy The mainstay of treatment for hyperbilirubinemia is phototherapy. [pathophys.org]

Obstet Gynecol 105:12–17 PubMed Google Scholar Polzin WJ, Brady K (1998) The etiology of premature rupture of the membranes. [link.springer.com]

The reported racial and ethnic differences in risk factors for and presentations of preterm birth suggest that the etiologies of preterm birth may play a role ( Ananth et al., 2005 ; Reagan and Salsberry, 2005 ). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of BPD is problematic and may be due to oxygen, overventilation or underventilation. [en.wikipedia.org]

The etiology is multifactorial. Risk factors include systemic infection, rapid advance of enteral nutrition, decreased intestinal blood flow (relative ischemia), the presence of catheters in umbilical vessels, and poor gut motility. [hawaii.edu]
