Page 2: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Approximately 10% of newborns require some assistance to begin breathing at birth.

Approximately 1% require extensive resuscitative measures.

Page 3: Resuscitation of a Newborn

APNEA

• Primary – deprivation of oxygen → rapid breathing → resp stop →HR↓ → apnea

*** will re- establish breathing with oxygen and stimulation

• Secondary –If asphyxia continues →deep gasping resp → HR ↓ & BP ↓ →last gasp →apnea

*** unresponsive to oxygen and stimulation →PPV must be started

Page 4: Resuscitation of a Newborn
Page 5: Resuscitation of a Newborn

• Always assume infant has secondary Apnea & commence Resuscitation

Page 6: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Resuscitation Assignments

• Team Leader- Airway

• Second Rescuer- Pulse Check (HR) Chest Compression• Third Rescuer- Medications Equipment

Page 7: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Core Knowledge and Skills

• Airways - Establish Clear Airway• Breathing- Ventilation & Oxygenation• Circulation- Adequate Cardiac Output• Drugs • Environment - Reduce Heat Loss

Page 8: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in Resuscitation - ABCDE

• Airway – open & clear airway – Suction mouth and then nose , trachea if needed – No more than 5cms & no longer than 5 secs – Mechanical suction - vacuum does not exceed 100 mmHg (5litres) – Airway tube / ET tube

• If nose cleared first the infant may gasp and aspirate secretions in the pharynx

Page 9: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Airway

DO NOT SUCTION IF AIRWAY IS CLEAR– Positioning

• Supine or lateral • Head in neutral or slightly extended

position - Avoid overextension or flexion

Page 10: Resuscitation of a Newborn

CLEARING THE AIRWAY OF MECONIUM

Current recommendations No longer advise routine intrapartum oropharyngeal and

nasopharyngeal suctioning for infants born to mothers with meconium staining of

amniotic fluid

Page 11: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Suction

• Suction - Bulb syringe DeLee mucus trap Suction catheters (6F, 8F, 10F)

Feeding tube with syringe Meconium aspirator

Page 12: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in Resuscitation - ABCDE

• Breathing -Initiate breathing - Tactile stimulation - PPV – bag & mask – bag & ET tube• Assessment of respiratory effort and color

Page 13: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Tactile Stimulation

• Drying• Suctioning• Slapping or flicking the soles of the feet• Rubbing the back gently

• Do not waste time continuing tactile stimulation if there is no response after 10 - 15 seconds.

Page 14: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Harmful actions

• Slapping back• Squeezing rib cage• Forcing thigh onto abdomen• Dilating anal sphincter• Using hot or cold compression or bath• Blowing cold air onto face• Burning placenta

Page 15: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Use of oxygen duringneonatal resuscitation

• Indications for oxygen administration – Cyanosis – Respiratory distress - Give free flowing oxygen 5L/min

• Use – 100% supplemental oxygen• If oxygen unavailable - use room air to deliver

positive-pressure ventilation

Page 16: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in Resuscitation - ABCDE

Indications for PPV / Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation

• Apnoeic • Gasping respiration • HR < 100 bpm • Persistent central cyanosis despite 100% O2 • 40-60 breaths/min • No response

Page 17: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation

• Neutral Position of Head• Tight Mask Seal• Avoid Pressure on Trachea•Assisted rate= 40 to 60 bpm

Page 18: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation

• Signs of Adequate Ventilation: - Bilateral Chest Expansion - Bilateral Breath Sounds - Adequate Heart Rate & Color

Page 19: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Bag and mask

Ventilate for 30 seconds:

Rate: 40-60 /minPressure: Visible rise and fall of chest

Continue ventilation Initiate chest compression

Consider intubation

HR > 100 bpm:Check for spontaneous

respirations

HR < 60 HR >100

Page 20: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Bag and mask the most important tool in newborn resuscitation

Page 21: Resuscitation of a Newborn

ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE PLACEMENT

• ET intubation - indicated at several points during neonatal resuscitation:

1. Tracheal suctioning for meconium 2. Bag-mask ventilation is ineffective / prolonged3.When chest compressions are performed4.When ET administration of medications is required5.Congenital diaphragmatic hernia or extremely low

birth weight (<1000 g)

Page 22: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Place a pillow under the head and neck but NOT under the shoulders

This allows a straight line of

vision from the mouth to the vocal cords

The laryngoscope is

introduced into the right hand side of the mouth (it is held by the left hand

Page 23: Resuscitation of a Newborn

• The tongue is swept to the left and the tip of the blade is advanced until a fold of skin / cartilage is visualised at twelve o’ clock

• This is the epiglottis, and this sits over the glottis (the opening of the larynx) during swallowing

Page 24: Resuscitation of a Newborn

• The tip of the blade is advanced to the base of the epiglottis, known as the vallecula, and the entire laryngoscope is lifted upwards and outwards

• This flips the epiglottis upwards and exposes the glottis below

• An opening is seen with two white vocal cords forming a triangle on each side

Page 25: Resuscitation of a Newborn

• The tip of the ET tube is advanced through the vocal cords and once the cuff has passed through, one stops advancing The tube is secured at this level and the cuff inflated

Page 26: Resuscitation of a Newborn

ET tube sizes

GA Weight ET tubes Size• <28weeks <1Kg 2.5cm• 28-34 1-2Kg 3 cm• 34-38 2-3Kg 3-3.5 cm• >38 >3 Kg 3.5- 4cm

Page 27: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in Resuscitation - ABCDE

• Circulation • Assessment of heart rate• Umbilical arteries pulsation• Chest Compressions

Page 28: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in Resuscitation - ABCDE

Indication for Chest Compressions1. HR < 60 bpm despite adequate vent with 100%

O2 for 30 seconds

2. Heart Rate 60 to 80 but not Increasing (±) - controversial

Page 29: Resuscitation of a Newborn

2 techniques

• 2 thumb (preferred) • 2 finger • 3:1 ratio • 1/3 of AP diameter

Page 30: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Chest compression

1.Thumb technique: - Place thumbs side by side or one

over the other above xyphoid - other fingers provide support for the back

- Depress the sternum to a depth of 1/3 of the anterior/posterior diameter of the chest

- Your thumbs should remain in contact with the chest at all times

- Rate - 3:1

Page 31: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Drugs needed forNewborn Resuscitation

Page 32: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in resuscitation - ABCDE

Drugs • Adrenaline • Volume Expanders • Naloxone ±• Sodium bicarbonate (0.5 mEq/mL)

Page 33: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Drugs

1.Adrenaline • HR < 60 /min after 30 seconds of adequate

ventilation and chest compressions • Give via ETT, UVC, IV • Repeat dose if no response after 60 seconds• IV or ET dose - 0.1 to 0.3 mL/kg of 1:10,000

(0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg) repeated every 3 to 5 /min

• ET: 0.3 to 1.0 mL/kg of 1:10,000

• No different dose for premature infants

Page 34: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in resuscitation - ABCDE• Volume expanders • Not given routinely • Useful in hypovolemia

– Suspected where there is a pale tachycardic infant

• Normal saline - 10mL/kg over 5-10 min• Route - UVC, IV • Blood or packed red cells - If haemorrhagic

shock is suspected

Page 35: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Drugs

• Naloxone • Inadequate spontaneous respiratory effort • Mothers who received narcotics within 4 hrs

of delivery • Dose - 0.1mg/kg of a 0.4 mg/mL solution • Route - ETT, IV, UVC, IM, SC

Page 36: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Steps in resuscitation- ABCDE

• Environment – Turn on radiant warmer – Warm blankets/cap/plastic wrap for

preterms – Shut doors and windows – Heat Lamps

Page 37: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Equipments : Prepare for birth

• Two clean towels for thermal protection

• Warm delivery room > 25oC

• A radiant heater / warmer

• Clean delivery kit for cord care, gloves

• an additional set of equipment in reserve for multiple births or in case of failure of the first set

Page 38: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Equipments - Oxygen supply

- Bag and mask, face mask, oral airway (Guedel

airway)

- Intubation – Laryngoscope (0 and 1 sized blades) ET tubes, (2.5-4)

Scissors ,gloves Extra bulbs and batteries Stethoscope

Page 39: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Fluids

- Syringes (1-20 mL)

Page 40: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Rapid assessment - 5 characteristics

• Full-term gestation?

• Amniotic fluid clear of meconium ?

• Breathing or crying?

• Good muscle tone?

• Color pink?

Page 41: Resuscitation of a Newborn

If the answer to any of these assessment is "no"

• Initial steps in stabilization ( warmth, position, clear airway, dry, stimulate)

• Ventilation

• Chest compressions

• Administration of epinephrine and/or volume expansion

Page 42: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Resuscitation Priorities

- Drying, Warming, Positioning - Suctioning, Stimulation - BVM Vent - Oxygen - Chest Compressions -Intubation -Medications

Page 43: Resuscitation of a Newborn
Page 44: Resuscitation of a Newborn

• BIRTH ↓

Clear of meconium?Breathing or crying?Good muscle tone? YES Routine careColour pink? -WarmthTerm gestation? -Clear airway -Dry the baby NO• Provide warmth• Position and clear airway*-suction• Dry, stimulate, reposition• Give oxygen

Page 45: Resuscitation of a Newborn

• Evaluate:- Breathing Supportive care HR>100 pink

Apnoea or HR <100Provide positive pressure ventilation* by ambu bag

→Breathing HR >100 pink ↓ Ongoing care

Page 46: Resuscitation of a Newborn

IF• HR<60• Provide positive pressure ventilation*• Administer chest compression ↓• HR<60• Administer Epinephrine***ET may be considered at several steps

Page 47: Resuscitation of a Newborn

Discontinuing resuscitation efforts

• After 10 minutes of continuous and adequate resuscitative efforts, discontinuation of resuscitation may be justified if there are no signs of life (no heart beat and no respiratory effort)
