Physicians rushed Vita Rose Carletti to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children’s shortly after her birth when they found the presence of meconium in the amniotic fluid of her mother’s uterus.
She was diagnosed with severe meconium aspiration syndrome and stayed in the Guerin Children’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for over 100 days to receive critical, lifesaving care from multiple departments.
