Ovuloom📖 Viability
The point at which a fetus can potentially survive outside the womb with medical support. Generally considered around 24 weeks, though this continues to improve.
In Detail
At 24 weeks, survival rates are approximately 40-70% with intensive NICU care, but risk of long-term complications is significant. By 28 weeks, survival exceeds 90% with much lower complication rates. At 34 weeks, most babies do well with minimal intervention. Full term (39-40 weeks) provides the best outcomes. The 'limit of viability' continues to advance with medical technology — some hospitals now provide intensive care starting at 22-23 weeks, with varying outcomes.
