Eval and Management of a newborn during immediate perinatal period
Neonatal resuscitation
Oxygen
IV fluid bolus– 10 mL/kg NS
—Indicated for hypovolemia/hypotension concerns
Epinephrine
—Asystole or bradycardia unresponsive to O2
—Prefer IV route; ET route has unpredictable results but can use
Naloxone (Narcan) - reverses narcotics/opioids given to mother during labor
If mother is narcotic/drug abuser/addict or on methadone, do NOT give to infant!
!Leads to neonatal withdrawal seizures!
ApGAR scale
1 and 5 minutes
At one minute reflect the birthing process
At 5 reflects adaptation to environment
If less than 8 repeat at 5 min intervals
Neonatal examination prior to discharge IAW NEP and BATES
Normal and AbNML findings on a neonate phys exam IAW NEP
NEONATAL jaundice
NML vs ABNML
Neonatal sepsis
RSK Fx: Prematurity (6x greater) Prolonged rupture of membranes (>24 hrs) Maternal Group B Strep (GBS) Colonization Maternal Fever Amnionitis Fetal Tachycardia—indicator of stress
Early Onset: GBS, E. Coli, Klebsiella, Listeria, Salmonella, Mycoplamsa
Late Onset: H. Flue, Staph, HSV, CMV, Enterovirus, S. Pneumo, Neisseria
Start empiric abx as soon as labs are drawn!
-IV Ampicillin & Gentamicin if <3 weeks of age
-IV Ampicillin & Cefotaxime if >3 weeks of age
Liver not functioning well until then
Consider adding Vancomycin if late onset and/or meningitis present
MRSA coverage
Consider adding Acyclovir if concern for HSV infection
