WHAT IS NEONATAL RESUSCITATION? Neonatal Resuscitation is intervention after a baby is born to help it breathe and to help its heart beat.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED RESUSCITATION TABLE STERILE LINEN SUCTION APPARATUS LARYNGOSCOPE AMBU BAG & FACE MASKS ORAL AIRWAYS OXYGEN WITH FLOW METER & TUBING ENDOTRACHEAL TUBES SCISSORS GLOVES
MEDICATIONS Epinephrine Naloxone hydrochloride Volume expanders Normal saline Albumin 5% Ringer lactate Sodium bicarbonate4.2% Dextrose water 10% Sterile water
Newborn life support Clear of meconium Breathing or crying? Good muscle tone? Color pink? Term gestation? Provide warmth Position (clear airway) Dry,stimulate,reposition Give Oxygen Evaluate respiration,heart rate & colour Routine care: Provide warmth Clear airway dry Provide positive pressure ventilation Provide positive pressure ventilation Administer chest compression Administer adrenaline Supportive care Ongoing care BIRTH YES NO Breathing HR>100 & PINK APNEA Or HR<100 VENTILATING HR>100 & PINK HR<60 HR>60 HR<60 HR>60
HOW TO PREVENT HEAT LOSS? Place the infant under radiant heat source Dry off the amniotic fluid
What is the correct position? How to clear airway? Place the newborn in a supine position with neck semi extended,use a shoulder role to keep neck extended Suction the infant’s mouth and nose A=AIRWAY
INITIATE BREATHING Use tactile stimulation Employ positive pressure ventilation when necessary using Bag & mask Bag & endotracheal tube Ventilation rate=40/min Ventilation pressure=15-20cm of water Continue ventilation for 15-30 minutes B=BREATHING
WHAT ARE THE WAYS TO MAINTAIN CIRCULATION? Chest compression=when HR<60/min Sternum should be compressed ½ inch with PPV at the ratio of 3: 1 Encircle the chest with overlapping thumbs or Place middle & index finger of one hand right angle to the chest wall over sternum Continue for 30 seconds,if HR>60 & increasing stop compressions C=CIRCULATION
When to use medication? When HR is not increasing despite adequate ventilation with 100% oxygen & chest compression then use drugs to stimulate heart ADRENALINE(1:10,000) : 0.1-0.3 ml/kg IV, repeated every 3-5 min Volume expanders(N/S,R/L,5% albumin): 10 ml/kg IV 5-10/min Sodium bicarbonate :prolonged cardiac arrest 1-2 meq /kg IV Naloxone hydrchloride : 0.1 mg/k IV,maternal narcotics administration within 4 hours Dopamine: continued shock,dose =5-20 mg/kg/ min,continous
