In Episode 3 of our hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) series, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Tim Bahr, MD, FAAP focus on clinical management and emerging consensus around care. Our discussion reviews key elements of the recently published consensus paper, including proposed guidelines for evaluation, monitoring, and treatment across the perinatal and neonatal periods. They address management of hyperbilirubinemia and anemia, escalation of care when disease severity increases, and the critical role of early recognition.We also explore high-risk presentations, including hydrops fetalis, and discuss delivery room considerations and coordination with Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) protocols. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary collaboration between obstetrics, neonatology, hematology, and pediatrics to ensure timely intervention and continuity of care for affected infants.Have a question?
