what laryngoscope size for ifant + preterm
1 for term
0 for preterm
self inflating bags
what is it> what ca’t it allow
- fills spontaneously, remains inflated until squeezed
- can’t provided CPAP or Free flow O2
flow inflating bag
- fills when gas there is seal
T piece
- direct compressed gas to the baby
PEEP
5
PIP
20/25
gradually increase if needed. by 5-10 max is 40
how infant transitions to extrauterine to circulation
First breath, cord clamping
- Low pulmonary vasc resistance
- high systemic vascular resistance
when does the foramen ovale close + PDA
increase in left sided atrial pressure exceeds the right sideed atrial pressure FO closes
- with ventilation, theres an increase in concentration of O2 and decrease in prostaglandins causing closure ofr the PDA over 12-24 horus
asphyxia
not enought tissure perfusion to meet metabolic demands of the tissues for oxygen and waste removal.
S/sx: progressive hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and acidosis
Apnea
primary + secondary
Primary: when RR stops after a brief period of rapid breathing. Causing low HR and decrease tone. Gasping then starts
Secondary apnea occurs after the last gasp. Will need assisted ventilation to have spon respirations (apneic at delivery = secondary)
Cord clamping
standard = clamping for 1-3 minutes after birth for an additional 30-150Ml
- recommond delay 30-60 secs in vigorous term and preterm infants
- immediately clamping the cord in 5-10 secs can result in deficit 25% of normal blood volume
- improve circulation, establish RBC, decrease need for blood transf, lower incidence of NEC + ICH
when does an infant get a polyethylene sheet
<32 weeks
indications for CPAP
labored breathing, unable to maintain O2 within target range despite titrating
