24
Q

First 3 questions to ask when you arrive at a birth?

A

Term
Tone
“Tachypnea” (breathing/crying)

25
Q

If term, good tone, vigorous cry - what do you do?

A

Warm
Dry
Airway clearance
Give to Mom

26
Q

If not term, good tone, vigorous cry - what do you do?

A
Warm
Dry
Stimulate 
Airway clearance 
Check HR
27
Q

HR <100, gasping, or apnea - what do you do?

A

PPV

SpO2 monitor

28
Q

HR still <100 after 30 sec PPV. What do you do?

A

MR SOPA

Continue PPV

29
Q

HR < 60. What do you do?

A

Chest compressions with PPV (1 and 2 and 3 and breathe)
Consider intubation
Think about IV access/UVC for epi

Assess airway first - if you intubated and HR improves to >60 no compressions

30
Q

HR still < 60 despite compressions with PPV. What med can you give?

A

IV epi (1:10,000 at 0.1-0.3ml/kg)

31
Q

What else should you be doing/checking while doing chest compressions and PPV? What 2 etiologies should you consider?

A

MR SOPA

Consider hypovolemia, pneumothorax

32
Q

If HR > 100 but there is labored breathing or persistent cyanosis what should you do?

A

Airway clearance
SpO2 monitor
Consider CPAP

33
Q

If HR > 100, breathing okay after warm, dry, stimulate - what do you do?

A

Routine care/give to Mom

34
Q

For how long after birth does the hypoglycemia protocol apply?

A

24 hours

35
Q

Name 3 maternal conditions that put baby at risk for hypoglycemia.

A

Diabetes
Chorioamnionitis
Hyperthyroidism

36
Q

Name 3 maternal meds (classes) that put baby at risk for hypoglycemia.

A

Beta blockers
TCAs
Some diabetes meds (insulin, glyburide)

37
Q

Name 5 things that put baby at risk for hypoglycemia via limited glycogen supply.

A
  • APGAR score <5 at 5 minutes
  • Cord blood gas pH <7.2
  • Intubation at birth for any reason
  • Category 3 fetal heart tracing resulting in alpha or beta c/s
  • Forceps or vacuum assisted delivery
38
Q

Name 2 things that put baby at risk for hypoglycemia via hyperinsulinism.

A

Beckwith-Weidmann syndrome

Immune hemolytic disease (erythroblastosis)

39
Q

Name 3 things that put baby at risk for hypoglycemia via diminished glucose production.

A

BW < 2500 g
BW > 4500 g
Oligohydramnios

40
Q

Name 2 misc things that put baby at risk for hypoglycemia.

A

Significant congenital anomalies (gastroschisis, CDH)

Temp <36 C

41
Q

Name 10 signs of hypoglycemia in a newborn. (Hint: Neuro x 4, vital signs x 4, cry, ID)

A
AMS (Lethargy, irritability, stupor)
Poor suck/poor feeding
Seizures/convulsions
Tremors/jitteriness
Temperature instability
HR < 80
Irregular respirations, apnea, tachypnea
Central cyanosis
Weak or high-pitched cry
Sepsis/infection
42
Q

What do you do if baby has symptoms of hypoglycemia?

A

Check POC glucose STAT

43
Q

What is the dose of oral dextrose gel?

A

0.2 g/kg

44
Q

What is the dose and duration of IV dextrose bolus? What about infusion to follow?

A

D10W at 2ml/kg over 10min

5-8mg/kg/min (80-100 ml/kg/day)

45
Q

When baby is on D10W infusion, what glucose level do you titrate to?

A

> =50

46
Q

What if you can’t get an IV for D10W within 15 min or 4 attempts?

A

Place UVC

47
Q

An asymptomatic baby with hypoglycemia risk factors has glucose >40. What do you do?
