Abstract
Recent advancements in medicine have improved the survival of extremely low gestational age neonates, or small babies (22-27 weeks' gestation). Once inconceivable that an infant born as early as 22 weeks' gestation could survive, infants born at periviable gestational ages are now increasingly surviving to discharge from the NICU. Subsequently, clinical focus is pivoting toward practices that decrease morbidity in this extremely vulnerable population. This article aims to discuss obstetrical and neonatal practices during delivery to improve outcomes of the small baby and emphasize the importance of collaboration among all disciplines involved in the pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal care of the small baby. Effective communication and teamwork are cornerstones to improving outcomes in this patient population.
