number of weeks from the first day of mom's last period
low birth weight is defined as
<2500 grams (5.5 lbs)
VLBW: <1500 g
ELBW: <1000 g
this is not dependent on gestational age; can have a full term baby with low birth weight

dizygotic (fraternal)
-occurs from simultaneous shedding of two oocytes and fertilization by different sperm
monozygotic or identical twins occurs from splitting of the zygote at various stages of
development
T/F: preeclampsia is completely reversible by delivery of the baby
TRUE

-VSD
-neural tube defects

How does ultrasound determine fetal age
measure Crown Rump Length (CRL)

medications used to suppress premature labor
Tacolysis
T/F: baby Johnny is 3 months old therefore he is still a neonate

-this increases the risk for cephalohematoma, birth injuries like clavicle fx, brachial plexus

immediate adaptation to extrauterine life

The APGAR score is recorded at 1 minute and 5 minutes. What is the protocol for a cyanotic
baby?
At 1 minute an infant can be cyanotic
-if it does not clear by 5 minutes an additional score should be added at 10 minutes
A baby is just born. Their HR is 90 bpm, they have a good strong cry, they have some bending of
the arms and legs, they grimace and cough during stimulation, and the baby is pink. What
APGAR score should this baby receive? Is this a normal score?
8
-1 point for a HR less than 100 beats per minute
-2 points for strong cry
-1 point for some flexing of arms and legs
-2 points for grimace and cough to stimulation
-2 points for pink color
This is a good score!
>5 in first minutes and 8-10 by five minutes has dec morbidity/mortality
APGAR scores that indicate increased morbidity and mortality
-A score <4 at 1 minute: severe depression requiring immediate resuscitation
-A score <8 at 5 minutes: inc risk of cns dysfunction
remember: normal scores= >5 in first minute and 8-10 in first five minutes
criteria used that aids in determining the gestational age in preterm and term infants

4. Hep B
fetal hydrops
edema and effusions into the body cavities of the fetus
-can occur as a result of erythroblastosis fetalis (hemolytic disease of the newborn)
A neonate was born just a few hours ago. You notice tachypnea/grunting and increased work of
breathing. You obtain ABG's which show hypercapnia, hypoxemia, and acidosis. What's the
most likely diagnosis? What would you see on CXR? What is this caused by? Best tx option?
Respiratory Distress Syndrome/Hyaline Membrane Disease
-CXR would show air bronchograms and ground glass appearance
-Due to surfactant deficiency
-treat with surfactant replacement and respiratory support
