Pediatrics Flashcards
Properly timed cord clamping
1-3 mins after birth or until pulsation stopped whichever comes first
This prevents neonatal hypothermia and increases protective bacterial colonization
30 minutes of uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact
Sequence of thorough drying in newborn and duration
Face-head-trunk-back-arms-legs
5 sec each
What’s the 2nd step in EINC in CS delivery?
Delayed cord clamping
The purpose of this step in EINC is to initiate breastfeeding within the 1st hr of life
Non-separation of mother and baby
Target temperature of newborn
36.5-37.5
Room temp in DR
25-28C
Transfer of heat to cooler surrounding AIR
Convection
Heat transfer to nearby cooler OBJECTS
Radiation
34 to 37 weeks newborn
Late-preterm
