Abstract

Neonatal intensive care unit graduates can be more complex than the average infant. They often have an intricate and long medical history but appear to be only a few days or weeks old. Former preterm infants also have a variety of unique medical conditions that make them less resistant to normal childhood illnesses, have a greater readmission rates, and have a higher mortality. The goal of this article is to address the acute presentation of the high-risk former preterm infant and offer ways to care for them upon presentation to the emergency department.
