Perinatal asphyxia
The perinatal period is that around the time of birth. A perinatologist is an obstetrical specialist concerned with the care of the mother and fetus at higher-than-normal risk for complications. Since the perinatal period, depending on the definition, starts at the 20th to 28th week of gestation and ends 1 to 4 weeks after birth, a perinatologist logically could be an obstetrician or pediatrician but, in practice, a perinatologist is an obstetrician.
