AB Grossly  bloody  secretions  are  seen  in  the  endotracheal  tube  (ETT).  The  incidence  of  pulmonary  hemorrhage  varies  from  0.8  to  12  per  1000  live  births.  It  can  be  as  high  as  50  per  1000  live  births  if  high  risk.  The  mortality  rate  can  be  as  high  as  50%.  Survivors  of  pulmonary  hemorrhage  require  longer  ventilator  support,  and  many  will  develop  bronchopulmonary  dysplasia/chronic  lung  disease.  Others  survivors  may  have  an  increase  in  cerebral  palsy,  cognitive  delay,  seizures,  and  periventricular  leukomalacia.  Most  cases  of  pulmonary  hemorrhage  are  secondary  to  hemorrhagic  pulmonary  edema  and  not  a  true  bleed.
