Updates In The Management Of Small For Gestational Age Neonates

Abstract

Intrauterine growth restriction remains a challenging problem for the obstetrician and pediatrician, the ability to predict this disorder and to understand its pathophysiology still outpaces the ability to prevent its occurrence and complications. The current therapeutic goals are to deliver the baby at the maximum gestational age possible and just before academia or hypoxia occurs. SGA infants are infants who are below the 10th centile for abdominal circumference or estimated fetal weight, and FGR would be fetuses whose growth velocity slows down or stops completely.
