30-60 per minute with pauses of 15 seconds normal

A

100-160
Crying or deep sleep can alter values, count for a full minute at the fourth intercostal space and to the left of the midclavicular line

Q

Signs of CV dysfunction, what should you do?

A

tachypnea, tachycardia, pallor, cyanosis, absence of peripheral pulses, poor perfusion

Hypertensive is a MAP between 50-70

55
Q

A

Losing heat turning liquid to vapor (sweating)

62
Q

Conduction - Heat loss

A

Loss of heat bc of contact with a cooler surface

63
Q

NB thermogenesis

A

Generating heat by increasing muscle activity, crying/restless

64
Q

Brown fat

A

Unique to NB, richer vascular and nerve supply that increases heat production, located over important organs

65
Q

NB cold stress

A

Respirations increase, burning glucose in the blood, increases risk of acidosis and hyperbilirubinemia

First 2 days: 40-60 mL/kg
Then: 100-150 ml/kg

75% of body weight is water
40% of body weight is extracellular

70
Q

Loss of fluid after birth

A

Baby should lose 5-10% of birth weight in the first 3-5 days then regain that by day 14

71
Q

Epstein perals

A

White cysts present in the gums of NB, retention cysts

72
Q
