  • Antenatal Steroids for Women at Risk of Preterm Delivery
    Revised: November 2020 ANTENATAL STEROIDS FOR WOMEN AT RISK OF PRETERM DELIVERY CHOICE OF AGENT: Two regimens of antenatal glucocorticoid treatment have evolved and are effective for accelerating fetal lung maturity 1. Betamethasone (two doses of 12 mg given intramuscularly 24 hours apart) preferred agent if available. 2. Dexamethasone (four doses of 6 mg given intramuscularly 12 hours apart). GESTATIONAL AGE AT ADMINISTRATION: 1. Administration of steroids for patients with threatened and imminent periviable birth at less than 220/7 weeks is not recommended. 2. Administration of steroids for patients with threatened and imminent periviable birth between 220/7 and 236/7 weeks can be considered after counseling by both MFM and NICU based on existing evidence.1-4 3. All fetuses between 240/7 and 336/7 weeks of gestation at risk of preterm delivery should be considered candidates for antenatal treatment with corticosteroids regardless of membrane status (intact or ruptured). 4. In women with a singleton pregnancy between 340/7 and 366/7 weeks who are at high risk for preterm birth within next 7 days (and before 370/7 weeks of gestation), we recommend treatment with a course of betamethasone (without tocolysis) provided they meet eligibility criteria. a. Inclusion criteria: i. Singleton pregnancy ii. Gestational age at presentation between 340/7 and 366/7 weeks iii. High probability of delivery (any one of the following): 1. Preterm labor with intact membranes and at least 3cm dilation or 75% effacement 2. Delivery expected by induction of labor or cesarean section in no less than 24 hours and no more than 7 days, as deemed necessary by the provider.

  • In Preterm Babies
    Original Article A study of clinical profile of respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) in preterm babies Sambhaji S Wagh 1, Dee pa S Phirke 2, Sudhakar Bantewad 3* 1Associate Professor, 2Associate Professor, 3Resident, Department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College Miraj, Maharashtra, INDIA. Email: [email protected] Abstract Objective: Study of clinical profile of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in preterm babies. Design: Prospective observational study. Settings: Neonatal Intensive Care unit at tertiary care hospital. Outcome measures: To study role of antenatal steroid, surfactant and a ssisted ventilation in RDS and outcome in terms of morbidity and mortality in preterms with RDS. Results: 150 neonates with gestational age <37wk with diagnosed as RDS as per clinical investigational guidelines were included.97.3% babies received antenatal steroid while 2.7% did not. Out of the babies who received antenatal steroid 80% survived and 20% died. All (100%) who did not receive antenatal steroid died. Out of them 57.3% received surfactant and 42.7% did not receive. Out of babies who received surf actant 88% survived 12% died. Out of babies who did not receive surfactant 64% survived 36% died. All babies (100%) receiving only CPAP (SA score <4) survived. Out of babies receiving both CPAP and surfactant (SA score 4 –7) 98.6% survived and 1.4% died. Al l babies receiving only assisted ventilation for >10 days died. Morbidity in RDS was sepsis 14.66%, PDA 14%, NEC 8.66% and pulmonary hemorrhage 5.33%. At the end of study 118 (78.66%) babies survived while 32(21.33%) died. Conclusion: We conclude that admi nistration of antenatal steroids in pregnant women during preterm delivery significantly improves lung maturity.
