Principles of Resuscitation

Thermal Regulation

  • Place newborn in neutral thermal environment even before initiate ABCs
  • Gently dry newborn with warm towel

Airway

  • Optimize
    • Position head in sniffing position
    • Suction nose and mouth
  • Intubate
    • Indicated if pt is poorly responsive or fails BVM
    • If have time precut ET tube at 13cm mark
    • After intubation suction trachea to prevent aspiration (if +meconium)


Tube Size Wt (gm) Age (wk)
2.5 <1000 <28
3.0 1000-2000 28-34
3.5 2000-3000 34-38
4.0 >3000 >38


  • Ventilate
    • Apneic and/or bradycardic (<100 bpm)
      • Attempt tactile stimulation first
      • If unsuccessful perform BMV at 40-60 breaths/min
      • After intubation use:
        • Inflation pressure ~ 20
