Case Study:
Tiffany's a seventeen year old female who is 24 weeks of gestation. Reason Tiffany decided to travel to a near by medical facility was due to tremednous amount of pain in her back as well as some cramping. Once she arrived she was evaluated by serval medical practitioners. Question was, should proceed with medical treatment or not? Facts dawned on the opposing side.

" Miscarriage.about.com," revealed that infants at just 24 weeks require mass amount of intervention. Medical ventillation and other invassive treatments are involved in these interventions.

Along with the ever lasting intervention process, at 24 weeks, the chances alone of survival aren't that high.

Survival

  • 23 weeks - 17%
  • 23 weeks - 39% Tiffany's babysits right along this ratio, which isn't to promising.
  • 25 weeks - 50%
  • 26 weeks - 80%>

"Preemiesurvival.org," states that " 1 in 10 " premature babies develop a disability.
Ex. Lung disease, Cerebal palsy, Blindness, or deafness,
