Indications of Delayed Cord clamping โโafter 30 secondsโโ
For both term and preterm infants who do not require resuscitation at birth
Benefits of Delayed Cord clamping โโafter 30 secondsโโ
Disadvantages of Delayed Cord clamping โโafter 30 secondsโโ
Higher mean serum bilirubin & use of phototherapy
All newborns require initial assessment to determine whether resuscitation is required immediately after birth
Initial Steps of Neonatal Resuscitation
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Provide Warmth
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Warming Methods
- Placing newborn under radiant warmer
- Drying thoroughly
- Removing wet towels
- Head cap
- Plastic cover
- Increase room temperature
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Thermoregulation
Temperature of non-asphyxiated newborn infants be maintained between 36.5C & 37.5 after birth through resuscitation or stabilization
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Warming Preterm Babies < 32 w GA
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Opening the airway
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Clear Airway = suction of secretions
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Clear Airway = suction of secretions
(if no meconium)
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Clear Airway = suction of secretions
(if meconium is present)
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Tactile stimulation the baby to breathe or cry
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Dry the baby
Dry thoroughly and remove wet linens
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Initial Evaluation
- Inspect chest rise = respiration (breathing or not)
- Pulse oximetry = oxygen saturation (do not use color)
- Stethoscope at the apex of the heart = HR in 6 sec multiplied by 10 to get HR in 1 min
You have approximately 30 sec to achieve a response before deciding to go on to the next step
โฆ
Accepted Saturation in the 1st 10 minutes after birth
Assessment of breathing โ HR โ SaO2
- 3 Scenariors
Golden Minute
Approximately 60 seconds (โthe Golden Minuteโ) are allotted for completing the initial steps, revaluating, and beginning ventilation if required
Indications of PPV
โฆโฆ. is the single most important and most effective step in CPR of the compromised infant
Ventilation of the lungs
Concentration of Free Flow O2
Flow Rate in Free Flow O2
Adjust the flow meter to 10 L/min
Methods to adjust Free Flow O2
What to do after Free Flow O2?
- Free-flow oxygen Cannot be given through the mask of a self-inflating bag; however, it may be given through the tail of an open reservoir
โฆ
Methods of PPV
- Self-inflating bag
- Flow-inflating bag
- T-piece resuscitator
Duration of PPV
15 sec

After 1st assessment (1st PPV Trial)
After 1st PPV trial
- if HR is increasing
After 1st PPV trial
- if HR is not increasing but chest is moving
After 1st PPV trial
- if HR is not increasing & chest is not moving
Ventilation corrective steps (MR SOPA)
Ventilation corrective steps (MR SOPA)
- MR
- Mask adjustment
- Reposition the head to ensure an open airway
Ventilation corrective steps (MR SOPA)
- SOP
- Suction the mouth and nose
- Open babyโs mouth slightly and lift the jaw forward
- Pressure Gradually / few breaths, (cautiously, & to a maximum of 40 cm H20), until there are bilateral breath sounds & visible chest movement
Ventilation corrective steps (MR SOPA)
- A
- Airway alternative is considered (ET tube or laryngeal mask airway)
Second Assessment of PPV
Second Assessment of PPV
- HR > 100
Second Assessment of PPV
- HR is 60-100
Second Assessment of PPV
- HR < 60
Signs of effective ventilation
- increased Heart rate
- Improving muscle tone
- Improving color
