Stefan Johansson Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Here's an article with definitions of various perinatal terms, incl stillbirth: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1732966/ In Sweden stillbirth is defined as lack of any heart rate or breathing, which means that a baby with heart beats is live born even if the baby (for some reason, incl extreme immaturity) is not actively resuscitated. In Sweden, stillbirths are defined in the official statistiscs from week 22+0, and regardless of birth weight. Before w22+0, births are categorized as miscarriagies.

ctestolin Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 How can you describe a neonate without hearth beats and no breath from birth that only after 10 minutes of resusitation present a hearth rate of 30 bpm for 1 min and then stopped, even continuing resusitation? Stillbirth or neonatal death? All steps of resusitation were done according to AAP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 As there was some sign of life recorded after birth, the baby should be classified as live-born, but dead neonatally (Apgar 0-0-1).
