Neonatal ICU Issues:
|
|
| M.S. is a married 35-year-old pregnant childless woman
who has lost four previous pregnancies between 16 and 23 weeks gestation.
She currently has reached 23 weeks and 3 days of gestation, her fetus
is seemingly healthy, and has an estimated weight of 550 grams (+/-1.2
lbs). She has ruptured her bag of waters and is now having labor that
seems unstoppable with tocolytics. Delivery seems inevitable.
What are the management options and who decides what form of care should be instituted following delivery? |
