چکیده
It has been customary to fix the period of viability of the child at twenty-eight weeks of intrauterine gestation. But this period undoubtedly varies within relatively wide limits. In this respect much depends upon the nourishment of the fetus prior to birth, the health of the mother during pregnancy, the conditions demanding or leading up to the interruption of pregnancy, the character and duration of labor, the difficulty attending its birth as well as the care of the infant after its advent into the world. In a syphilitic, tubercular or albuminuric mother, in a case of placenta previa, accidental hemorrhage or eclampsia, in a dry protracted labor, after a breech, forceps, or version delivery, the chance of survival of the baby is very much reduced. There are no characteristic appearances, no exact development upon which we can definitely state the age of the infant when it is born. If it is alive, we should carry out the best rules for preserving its existence.
