A2 - Sunshine, Philip PY - 2015 T2 - Neonatology: Clinical Practice and Procedures AB - The transition to breathing for the hydropic infant after birth is a particularly tenuous situation. The delivery room management of hydrops can be a critical period of intervention and a highly intense event with a critically sick infant requiring extensive resuscitation and multiple procedures immediately following delivery.1 The basic principles for resuscitation of high-risk newborns still apply. However, because of the possibility of pleural effusions and ascites in hydrops, the team must be prepared to perform two additional procedures that are not commonly performed by delivery room personnel: thoracentesis and paracentesis. This chapter outlines the overall approach to delivery room management for hydrops and provides detailed descriptions of these two procedures.
