Premature baby born at 26 weeks has blood in his lungs. what is the course and how will the dr assist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prematurity : I’m sorry to hear this. Blood in the lungs at such a gestation is difficult. This is mostly from the underdevelopment of the lungs. If the child is on a ventilator, addition PEEP can sometimes help. Sometime a small dose of epinephrine through the endotracheal tube can also assist. Also giving products like platelets and frozen plasma may help. Options usually are limited though.
