Medico-legal implications of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2020
Babies who sustain long term neurologic injury and disability are frequent subjects in medical malpractice litigation. In the United States, the tort system enables adjudication of claims through a proscribed system. This paper will review salient elements of the tort system-duty, breach, causation, and damages- and how they apply to encephalopathic ...

Therapeutic interventions for fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS)

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2020
Fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) is a condition defined by systemic inflammation in the fetus, a rapid increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines into the fetal circulation (including interleukin-1 and interleukin-6), as well as a cellular response (such as increased neutrophils, monocyte/macrophages, and T cells) and the presence of funisitis ...

The significance of fetal inflammatory response syndrome in early and later adaptation of premature infants

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2014
Intrauterine infection may induce the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) and may cause cerebral palsy and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in newborns. The aim of the study was to evaluate the importance of FIRS for the early and later adaptation of preterms.Hundred and fifty-eight preterm infants, born at 22-34 weeks of gestation, were investigated
