A preterm infant
was born one month and a half earlier than the due time
an estimated 33 – 34 weeks gestation
The difficult situations the mother was having including a severe psychological tension
led to the premature birth of this child,
the bleeding of the mother is another reason for this condition,
he's badly bleeding,
which is a common symptom of preemies,
apnea (irregular pauses in breathing)
Newborn jaundice is also severe
We don't know the level of bilirubin
it might have reached the brain and harmed it.
in this preemie,
there is bleeding disorder with a decrease in coagulation factors.
The level of bilirubin is probably high which means that it might affect the brain.
It means that all the complications of premature birth have affected him.
He needs a ventilator,
and the ventilator needs electricity at all times.
He needs urgent fresh frozen plasma replacement,
We have no plasma at the moment.
We're doing what we can.
We cannot treat him now because we don't have plasma,
We are taking blood out of the lungs,
upper GI bleeding (stomach) accompanied with severe pulmonary bleeding,
under this condition is a hopeless case,
dilation of the pupil,
we're cleaning the lungs from blood.
