False negative APGAR Scores (3)
- Some full term infants
- Maternal acidosis
- High fetal cathecholamines
Table 113.3
Mechanism of heat loss in neonates
Hypothermia –> Norepi release –>
activate non-shivering thermogenesis by metabolism of brown fat
> Inc muscle activity and metabolism –> O2 consumption –> hypoxemia
> Pulmonary vasoconstriction –> hypoxia
> Increase glucose utilization –> hypoglycemia
Methods of heat loss (4)
Conduction
Radiation
Convection
Evaporation
Most frequent bacteria to colonize the UC
Staph aureus
NRP guide: 3 questions to ask regarding the baby at birth.
BTT
1. Breathing or crying?
2. Tone?
3. Term?
4 clinical criteria for asphyxia
CANM
1. Cord blood pH <7.0; metab or mixed acidosis
2. APGAR 0-3 for more than 5mins
3. Neurologic sequelae in the immediate neonatal period
4. Multiorgan system dysfx in the immediate neonatal period
