== Principles of Resuscitation  ==
#REDIRECT[[Neonatal 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
**Lip placement = 6 + wt (kg)
**After intubation suction trachea to prevent aspiration (if +meconium)

===Breathing===
 
*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
 
===Circulation===
*CPR
**Begin if despite assisted ventilation x30s HR still <60
**3 compressions:1 breath (total 90 compresions:30 breaths per min)
====Vascular Access====
*Umbilical vein is site of choice
====Volume Expansion====
*NS 10-20mL/kg IV over 5-10min
*O Rh-negative blood
====Medications====
*Epinephrine
**Indicated for aystole or HR < 60 despite CPR >30s
**0.01-0.03mg/kg IVP q3-5min
*Sodium Bicarbonate
**Helps to counteract negative inotropy/pulm HTN caused by acidosis
**Only give once adequate ventilation is established
**1-2 mEq/kg of 4.2% solution (2-4 mL/kg)
*Naloxone
**Give if persistent resp depression AND maternal narcotics w/in 4hr
**0.1mg/kg IV
 
==Special Problems==
===Cyanosis===
*Must distinguish between central and peripheral
*Consider prostaglandin E1 0.05-0.1 mcg/kg/min for cyanotic heart dz
===Pneumothorax===
*Tension PTX is highly related to subsequent ICH
**Place 18-20ga catheter into 4th IC in ant axillarly line
===Hypoglycemia===
*<30-35 in preterm newborn
*<35-40 in term newborn
*Treatment
**D10W 2mL/kg IV
===Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia===
*Persistent respiratory distress w/ "seesaw" pattern
*Treat via immediate intubation, OG tube placement
**Use lowest peak insp presure that allows for adequate chest rise
==Withholding Resuscitation==
*Consider if:
**<22wk or <400g
**No signs of life after 10min of CPR
