What age are we looking At their abdominal for respiration because
They are diaphoretic breathers
Children younger than 7
Which age range do you look at their chest because they are thoracic breathers
Older than 7
Since it takes a antipyretic an hour to kick in what do we want to teach parents to do in the mean time ?
Remove layered clothing from child and a cool cloth
What is the first thing to be concerned about when a new born is born
Respiratory is the most critical , typically sitting in the 60% for o2
In order for heart to beat , babies have to breathe
Takes about 10 min for o2 to get back up
What is the second thing to be cautious about when a baby is born
Thermoregulation .. critical to new born survival
Evaporation
Causes heat loss
Conductive
Heating up surfaces like our hands or stethascope before touching the baby
Convection
Loss of oxygen = heat loss
Radiation
Transfer of heat from a cooler object (why we keep babies away from a cold wall)
Important tempature for a new born to stay within
36.5-37.5 c
97.7-99.5f
What factors stimulateNB to breathe
Chemical factors
Thermal factors (cold)
Tactile (drying them off)
Vernix
Cheesy white stuff that gets powdery when it dries .. serves as a protectant
Lanugo
Hair .. protection
Possible Indicators of trisomy 21(not always the case)
Top pinna of ear not aligned with outer canvas
Webbing of the neck or webbing of fingers
One palmar crease
At what ages do you listen to the 5th intercostal space
Children over. 7
What ages do we listen to the 4th intercostal space for apical pulse
Younger than 7
Moro (startle) reflex response
Scarring baby - another way to see symmetry and movement
Within the first 24 hours we should expect babies to
Urinate and the urine should be colorless and odorless
