Vijayawada: Premature Baby Declared Dead Found Alive During Handover
Deccan ChronicleVijayawada: A premature baby initially declared dead at KGH was found to be alive while being handed over to the family, prompting immediate medical intervention and a dramatic shift from grief to joy for the parents. Initially, a heartbeat was detected, but the baby showed no further signs of life and was declared deceased. The father immediately alerted the medical staff, who quickly transferred the baby to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Sandhya, head of the Gynaecology department at KGH, explained, “At 25 weeks, this is technically considered an abortion rather than a delivery, as survival rates typically improve after 28 weeks.” She confirmed that while the initial assessment showed no signs of life, the baby was breathing when handed to the father.
