Obstetrical Management of Periviable Birth / 대한주산의학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Survival of extreme preterm birth infants had recently been increasing steadily. Proper counseling and optimal management of women with impending periviable birth is one of the most intricate situations in both obstetricians and pediatricians. This article aimed 1) to discern several international recommendations on perinatal care of periviable birth proposed recently, 2) to provide reviews of best available evidence on the use of antenatal corticosteroids and magnesium sulfate in impending periviable birth, and 3) to present the results from survey on the obstetrical management in periviable birth targeting maternal-fetal medicine faculty members of the tertiary hospitals in our country.
