A member asked:

How should a baby with oi be delivered?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High risk/variable: Of the several forms of oi the primary plan should be surgical delivery at a facility capable of treating or stabilizing for transport a child with respiratory insufficiency. The more severe forms often have respiratory distress at birth & may have poor lung capacity. Lesser forms do well in the newborn period but require personnel that understand their special need for monitoring & handeling.
