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.
