Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of major causes for serious hemorrhage in neonates, bleeding at some specific sites which could potentially be life threatening and a general approach to the emergency management of bleeding in the neonate. Neonatal units throughout the world encounter neonates with catastrophic hemorrhage. The causes for such bleeding are protean, and to an extent dependent on local factors, such as uptake of Vitamin K prophylaxis.
