Definition. Preterm birth means that birth occurs between 20 and 37 weeks of amenorrhea complete. (ACOG – July 2014) In Romania, the declaration of pregnancy is made starting with 24 weeks of gestation. Outstanding progresses in the recovery of newborns weighing less than 1,000 grams (the US and Japan recovered newborns weighing 500 g and less) allowed international forums reconsider criteria for definition of prematurity (see abortion classifications). For performant neonatal departments, the presence of signs of life (beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, muscle contracture to external stimuli) are sufficient to use resuscitation and recovering the product of conception.
