Indications for Neonatal Attendance at Delivery within the Hospital Setting

Preterm delivery < 35 weeks completed gestation.

Multiple pregnancy.

Breech presentation.

Known significant congenital abnormality (an abnormality which may cause difficulty at delivery or increase the likelihood of requirement for resuscitation.)

Meconium-stained liquor

Fetal distress.

Emergency Caesarean section.

Instrumental deliveries for fetal distress

Deliveries where there are midwifery or obstetric concerns about the health of the baby

1 Suggested Resuscitation Team

Infants > 32 weeks:

Midwife

F2, GP trainee or ST 1-3 doctor or Advanced Nurse Practitioner

Preterm infants 29 - 32 weeks and Term infants with fetal compromise:

Midwife

F2, GP trainee or ST 1-3 doctor or Advanced Nurse Practitioner

ST 4-8 or Advanced Nurse Practitioner

Neonatal Nurse with intensive care qualification

Preterm infants 22 - 28 completed weeks gestation:

Midwife

F2, GP trainee or ST 1-3 doctor or Advanced Nurse Practitioner

ST4-8 or Advanced Nurse Practitioner

Neonatal Nurse with intensive care qualification

The Neonatal Consultant should be made aware of the delivery; the team should be led by someone with advanced resuscitation skills. The consultant may attend

depending on the experience of the available staff – to be discussed

Resuscitation is not appropriate below 22 weeks gestation (2) Babies between 22 weeks and 24 weeks are extremely high risk. An individual decision about resuscitation at delivery should be made following senior discussion with the family taking into account the babies other risk factors and the families views

In an emergency, contact switchboard by dialing 2222 and ask for the Neonatal Team. This will call the junior trainee, the senior trainee and a neonatal nurse.

A Consultant Neonatologist is available at all times by telephone: contact via switchboard.

4 Deferred Cord Clamping

For uncompromised babies, a delay in cord clamping of at least one minute from the complete delivery of the infant, is now recommended. The baby can be assessed during

this time. For babies requiring resuscitation, resuscitative intervention remains the priority(3). Deferred cord clamping should be offered to both term and preterm infants who are well.

5 Oxygen Saturation

Monitoring

Current national guidelines (1) suggest commencing resuscitation in a term baby using room air. If a baby fails to respond to initial resuscitation consider using supplemental oxygen.

Oxygen saturation monitoring should be used, and supplemental oxygen should be titrated

according to response. The evidence surrounding preterm babies is less clear. Resuscitation should be commenced in between 21 and 30% oxygen and the amount of

oxygen given should be adjusted depending on the oxygen saturations.

Oxygen saturation should be measured in the right hand:

In the arrest situation or where there is severe circulatory compromise, oxygen saturation monitoring may become unreliable. Supplemental oxygen should be considered and the heart rate assessed by auscultation.

6 Deliveries Outside of the Hospital Setting

There should be two Midwives present at a planned birth that occurs in the community

setting; one midwife to take responsibility for the mother and one to take responsibility

for the baby.

It is the responsibility of the Midwife to check his/her own equipment regularly on a

routine basis and prior to every planned community birth.

Deliveries outside of the hospital setting should be approached using the standard

NLS guidelines outlined above.

Care should be taken to keep the baby warm. Preterm babies should be dried and wrapped

in a warm towel: plastic bags should not be used unless a radiant warmer is available.

Help should be called for babies that are in need of resuscitation outside of the hospital

setting. An emergency ambulance should be requested by dialling 999.

All neonatal intensive care is now performed at Leicester Royal Infirmary. Any baby in need of resuscitation should be transferred to Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Delivery suite at the Royal Infirmary should be notified and the baby should be brought to the Delivery Suite at the Leicester Royal Infirmary

7 Advanced Resuscitation and Special Cases

At all resuscitations, the priority is to manage the airway in line with Neonatal Life Support guidelines. The following special situations are considered:

Advanced resuscitation should follow the Resus Council Advanced Resuscitation of the Newborn Infant Algorithm:

Meconium stained liquor:

See also: Management of Newborn Infants born through Meconium-stained liquor Guideline

If the baby is vigorous, the airway is not obstructed: the standard NLS algorithm

should be followed (4)

If the baby is floppy and not breathing, the airway should be suctioned under direct

vision.

There should not be a delay in administering inflation breaths.

If the airway is obstructed by meconium and you have the skills to do so,

consider intubation and suction of the airway using a large bore suction catheter or a meconium aspirator. Once the airway is cleared, resuscitation should follow

the standard NLS algorithm.

Preterm babies <30 weeks gestation born in hospital:

Babies should be placed in a plastic bag without drying and nursed under a

radiant heater.(5)

A transwarmer mattress if deemed necessary be aware can cause burns when used in conjunction with an external heat source.

A temperature probe should be used to monitor the babies temperature during transfer to the neonatal intensive care.

Inflation breaths should commence at a pressure of 20-25 cm H20

PEEP should be used and ventilation pressures should be adjusted according to response.

Consider elective surfactant treatment on delivery suite for babies of less than

or equal to 28 weeks gestation.

Babies at risk of Perinatal Asphyxia:

See also: Initiating Therapeutic Hypothermia (cooling) in Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Guidelines.

Babies at risk of perinatal asphyxia may benefit from therapeutic

hypothermia following resuscitation

If there is a cord pH of <7.0 or a prolonged resuscitation consider passive cooling and seek expert senior advice

Babies who require intubation:

Following intubation, confirm endotracheal tube position by auscultation

Apply an end-tidal carbon dioxide sensor (e.g. Pedicap) and confirm the presence

of CO2

If there are any doubts about endotracheal tube position, remove the tube and

recommence ventilation using a mask with additional airway techniques as required

Remember that colour change capnography is unreliable in babies with a poor

cardiac output and in some small preterm babies. Capnography is a useful

If there is no response after 10 minutes of good quality resuscitation, the prognosis is very

poor and resuscitation should be discontinued after discussion with the team. A Consultant

Neonatologist is always available by telephone for advice if needed and can be contacted via switchboard

Equipment for neonatal resuscitation in the Community setting

(includes St. Mary’s Birth Centre)

1. Clock or watch with second hand

2. Light source

3. Oxygen cylinders

4. TransWarmer heated mattress 5. Towels – warmed when required for use (provided by parents)

6. Hat for baby (provided by parents)

7. Guedel airways (size 00 and 0)

8. Stethoscope

9. Cord clamps 10. Suction apparatus (trigger action recommended)

The NLS course trains all candidates in the use of laryngoscopes and suction devices where appropriate. In line with national standards, the neonatal unit

would support the use of a laryngoscope to directly visualize the oropharynx in cases of airway obstruction with foreign material.
