On day eighth of birth, the baby’s oxygen levels were falling and the baby was facing increasing breathing difficulty that required ventilation. A repeat PCR test of the neonate was Covid positive.

Hyderabad: Paediatricians at KIMS Cuddles have successfully treated a Covid positive newborn, a preterm who was born on April 17, at 28 weeks of pregnancy to a Covid positive mother who was on ventilator support.

Born with a birth weight of just 1,000 grams and treated initially for respiratory distress, the baby’s first Covid tests came negative. On day eighth of birth, the baby’s oxygen levels were falling and the baby was facing increasing breathing difficulty that required ventilation. A repeat PCR test of the neonate was positive. The baby, who then weighed only 920 grams, was put on a ventilator and shifted to Covid isolation ICU for further management, according to a press release here on Sunday.

“We provided ventilator support, intravenous antibiotics and nutrition. Later, the ventilator support was weaned to nasal ventilation and to CPAP and the newborn was managed with a combination of supportive care and steroids,” said Clinical Director, Neonatology, KIMS Cuddles, Dr C Aparna.

Efforts were undertaken to motivate the mother to send expressed breast milk. After nearly a month of nursing and medical attention, the newborn recovered from Covid and was discharged in good health with a weight of 1500 grams on May 17.
