Comprehensive promotion of perinatal collaboration for extremely preterm infants / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Extremely preterm infants (EPIs) are extremely immature in organ development, vulnerable to various comorbidities after birth, and may result in high mortality and disability rates. The short- and long-term prognosis of EPIs is closely related to early management. In-depth collaboration between obstetricians and pediatricians is the key to improving their quality of life. Compared to developed countries, there is much to improve in the Chinese mainland, especially in perinatal collaboration. The attitude towards EPI treatment, prenatal prophylaxis, intrauterine transport, delivery room warmth, respiratory management in the delivery room, breastfeeding, family integrated care, cord blood stem cell therapy, and other issues in the field of perinatal collaboration in China is discussed in this article, to promote the collaborative work in related fields further.
