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
