Abstract

Pulmonary hemorrhage in the newborn is an acute and idiopathic event characterized by discharge of bloody fluid from the respiratory tract or endotracheal tube. In this case report we discussed 5 hours old neonate with pulmonary bleeding. We showed that endotracheal adrenaline use, gastric lavage with cold water and use of vitamin K in the treatment of neonates with pulmonary bleeding might shorten the duration of treatment and lower the mortality rate.
