Risk factors for TTN…
SS 60 - 120 resp
Grunting
Flaring
Cyanosis
Retractions
CS w/o labor
Asphyxia
Maternal analgesia
Bleeding
DM
Tx for TTN…
O2, IV or gavage feeding, possibly antibiotics
TTN usually happens when…
Within 4 hours of life
Meconium aspiration
Interuterine Asphyxia causes increase in _____ and relaxation of _____
Peristalsis/ Anal Sphincter
Meconium aspiration
Meconium may enter the lungs at birth air cannot enter.
T or F
F
Air can enter but not escape.
_____ mechanism, over distends alveoli, causing pneumothorax
Ball valve
Can breath in but cannot breath out due to Meconium
Usually SS of resp distress happens with Meconium aspiration
Describe the breath sounds..
Course
Pathological Jaundice is Dangerous
Occurs when…
1st 24 hours of life
At what levels can you see bilirubin…
What level is it dangerous…
5 or above you can see Yellowing starting in the face and eyes and move downward with high levels
bilirubin levels >20 mg/dL can lead to complications like kernicterus, a form of brain damage caused by bilirubin toxicity.
2 froms of Bilirubin
Describe solubility/ toxicity
Unconjugated….
Conjugated….
Unconjugated Fat soluable / Toxic
Conjugated Water soluable / NonToxic
Type of detrimental effects a bilirubin levels of 18 will have on a healthy full term baby…
None with close observation
Bilirubin encephalopathy, irreversible brain damage.
Level >20 in healthy term baby
Name postural condition that may occur with this level..
Kernicterus
Leading cause of hyperbilirubinemia…
Rh disease
ABO Incompatibility
Insulin dept mom
Asian / Indians
Maternal drug intake (sulfonamides, salicylate, ibuprofen)
Delayed Um Cord clamping
Prenatal complications: Cephalohematoma, Cerebral hemorrhage, Occult bleeding
Infrequent feedings/ breastfeeding
Why increased risk of jaundice with infrequent feedings / breast feeding?
Bilirubin is excreted in feces.
Less food in or less frequent consumption of food will cause less poop with will increase Bilirubin
Breast Feeding = Smaller portion of food compared to formula
Phototherapy helps with bilirubin problems
Facilities excretion of ______ bilirubin via conversion to photobilirubin then transported into bile. Does not require conjugation.
Unconjugated
Bilirubin therapy.
Unclothed
Eye shields
With in ____ (until of measurement) of the lights
Turn baby how often….
20 inches
2 hrs
Transcutaneous Bilimeter
Place against sternum
May not be accurate in…
Premies or High lvl of bilirubin
Sepsis Neonatorum
Infection occurs during or after birth
Causes……
2 categories
Early: At birth, symptoms within 24 hrs
Late: 8 - 90 days after birth
Causes: GBS, E. Coli, Staphylococcus, Candida
DX of sepsis…
CBC
Urine/ lesion culture
Cerebrospinal fluid
Risk factors for sepsis in newborn…
Premature
ROM >18hrs
Preciptious birth
Maternal infection
GBS positive
Invasive procedure (SVE, UPC, ISIL)
SS of sepsis
Describe body temp…
Resp….
Cardio…
GI….
Neurological…
Temp <36.3
Tachypnea/ apnea > 60 resp / min
Tachycardia >160/min. (Norm 110 - 160), hypotension, edema, Cyanosis
Decrease intake milk, vomit, diarrhea, distention
Change in muscle tone, lethargy, jittery, high pitched cry
The following are SS of…
Jaundice
Hemorrhage, petechiae
Anemia
Enlargement of liver / spleen
Resp failure
Shock
Seizures
Advanced infection (Sepsis)
LGA are common in DM mothers due to glucose transfer to the infant.
Why might a baby be SGA to a DM mom…
SGA happens when mother is Long Term DM and has vascular changes / perfusion issues
Are congenital anomalies more common with DM moms?
Yes 6x more likely
Appearance of baby from DM mom
Normal?
Abnormal?
Normal head and length size
Abnormal Round face and body Obesity/ poor muscle tone
Maybe Irritabe due to hypoglycemia
New born with DM mom
May require CS
Monitor for hypoglycemia at birth how often…
If BS is <_____ repeat lab & feed instantly
q2H × 4 then, q4H × 6
BS below 45 - 40
First 4 hours of life BS is 25 and baby is showing no signs of Irritability, jitteryness.
What do you do?
Continue monitor
BS as low as 25 maybe seen in the first 4 hours of life and are no concern if baby is symptom free.
Give definition of Polycythemia…
Cause….
Hgb >22 & Hct > 65% 1st week of life.
Poor Intrauterine oxygenation (Forces baby to produce more RBCs)
Thickness of blood with Polycythemia may cause this problem…
Perfusion
Hyperbilirubinemia & jaundice may occur
TX for Polycythemia…
Close monitoring
Increase hydration
Possible blood transfusion
Baby may appear Red
Lethargic
Jittery
Cyanosis
Resp distress
Poor feeding
This problem….
Polycythemia
Hgb >22 & Hct >65% first week of life
Hypocalcemia in preterm, why?
Calcium delivered via placenta
