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]

• Anemia

  If the anemia is severe, treatment can involve a transfusion of red blood cells to the newborn. [americanpregnancy.org]

  In addition, premature infants are at higher risk for protracted anemia, because they are born with lower body iron stores. [hawaii.edu]

  Premature babies are at risk of blood problems such as anemia and newborn jaundice. Anemia is a common condition in which the body doesn't have enough red blood cells. [mayoclinic.org]

  After birth, however, the immature neonatal liver is not capable of handling a high bilirubin load and this can result in severe neonatal jaundice. [patient.info]

  If the baby develops significant jaundice, phototherapy may be required for a short period (usually from two to five days) to break down the bilirubin in the skin. [pediatricweb.com]

  The most common heart problems premature babies experience are patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and low blood pressure (hypotension). PDA is a persistent opening between the aorta and pulmonary artery. [mayoclinic.org]

• Skin Rash

  Phototherapy is generally quite safe and complications are very rare, but include burns, retinal damage, thermoregulatory instability, loose stools, dehydration, skin rash and tanning of the skin. [pathophys.org]

• Stroke

  Diabetes can contribute to eye disorders and blindness, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, amputation, and nerve damage. What happens with diabetes and pregnancy? During pregnancy, the placenta supplies a growing fetus with nutrients and water. [stanfordchildrens.org]

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]

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]
