<37wks
egg within follicle
oocyte
egg traveling down fallopian tube
ovum
conception =
zygote
implantation in uterus
blastocyte
at 2-8 weeks the baby is called
an embryo
at 9wks-birth it is called
a fetus
infant axillary temp
98.6-99.8
infant HR
80-140
RR of infant
40-60
infant birth weight
6-9 lbs
premature infant birth weight
2-5lbs
common conditions that premature infants can have

very low birth weight
2-3 lbs
extremely low birth weight
1-2 lbs
oocyte to fetus order
oocyte – zygote– blastocyte – embryo– fetus
lungs will require mechanical ventilation before ___wks
34 weeks
APGAR scoring system
premature infant forsiflexion
<40 degrees–> should be able to touch tibia
muscle tone develops in a caudal –> cephalo pattern
true
PT goals for prematurity
maintain vitals w positioning, calming, self soothing, non nutritive sucking
developmental positioning to minimize alterations in tone, prevent contracture, minimize reflexes
provide optimal positioning for visual, social, fine, gross, and cognitive development
tone observations
- heel to ear - closer to eat=less tone
- scarf sign - hand across more than across chest is concerning
- ventral suspension prone-
- pull to sit - head lag
baby signs of stress
yawning
crying
tremor of jaw hands legs
cycling mvmts
stiffening
hand placement
sneeze
cough
