This weekend at work (level 1 birthing center in hospital) we had a pt who was 32wk pg. the baby had been diagnosed at 20 wk with acrania. She ended up not delivering yet and went home. Has anyone ever seen this condition? Is it always fatal or has a baby ever survived? What can we expect when she does deliver? She was told baby does have brain and baby had reactive strip on efm. the ob told nurses that we only provide warmth. what are ehtics/ legalities if baby is breathing at birth? Please help me understand prognosis. Can anyone share their experiences? Thank you!! jama
