Initial Steps of Neonatal Resuscitation
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Provide Warmth
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Warming Methods
- Placing newborn under radiant warmer
- Drying thoroughly
- Removing wet towels
- Head cap
- Plastic cover
- Increase room temperature
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Thermoregulation
Temperature of non-asphyxiated newborn infants be maintained between 36.5C & 37.5 after birth through resuscitation or stabilization
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Warming Preterm Babies < 32 w GA
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Opening the airway
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Clear Airway = suction of secretions
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Clear Airway = suction of secretions
(if no meconium)
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Clear Airway = suction of secretions
(if meconium is present)
Neonatal Resuscitation
- Tactile stimulation the baby to breathe or cry
