Neonatal summary
Following a preterm delivery, the neonatal APGAR scores documented at 1,5 and 10 minutes were 2, 3, and 7 respectively. However, an hour after delivery, the newborn encountered severe asphyxia and was transferred to neonatal intensive care unit for resuscitation and intubation. The baby received one dose of surfactant and was extubated after 16 hours to nasal continuous positive airway pressure. The newborn was tested twice (14 days interval) for COVID-19 IgG and IgM and was found negative in both the occasions. The baby was discharged on day 14.
