Why we need to resuscitate: pH 7.30 pH 7.00 pH 6.80
Suction Equipment Warmer & Blankets Bag, Mask, & Oxygen Laryngoscope and ETT Tube
Assessment: Then • Appearance • Pulse • Grimace • Activity • Respirations
Assessment: Now Physiologic Parameters (Apgar’s best) • Breathing • Heart Rate • Color Questions to ask yourself • Clear of Meconium? • Breathing or Crying? • Good Muscle tone? • Color Pink? • Term Gestation?
Initial Management: For all deliveries • Provide warmth • Position and Clear Airway • Dry • Give Oxygen (as necessary)
Providing Warmth: The cycle of hypothermia Acidosis Pulmonary Vasoconstriction Anaerobic metabolism Pulmonary Hypertension Tissue hypoxia Right to left shunting Hypoxemia
Pulse Oximetry: Resuscitation monitor • Not affected by acrocyanosis • Be patient and get a reading • If baby in shock, get central IV access
Breathing or Crying? • Indications for PPV • Apnea or gasping • Heart rate <100 even if breathing • Persistent central cyanosis (saturation <90%) despite 100% free-flow oxygen
Self-Inflating Bag O2 Reservoir Pressure manometer attaches PEEP valve port 200-750ml Bag size
Neopuff • CPAP • Pressure limited ventilation with PEEP • Blended oxygen • Eliminates variability associated with bag ventilation
Masks Smallest sizes are for preterm infants
Make sure the airway is clear • Lift the baby’s jaw into the mask • Keep the mouth slightly open Rate 40-60
Indications for Intubation • Meconium and baby is not vigorous • PPV by bag-mask does not result in good chest rise • PPV needed beyond a few minutes • Chest compressions necessary • Route to administer epinephrine • Special indications: Prematurity, CDH

Lip reference mark: (6 + weight in kilos) cm 9-10 cm at the lip for this term infant
Heart rate <60 bpm after 30sec of PPV Coordinate with ventilation 4 events in 2 seconds 90 compressions and 30 breaths per minute Indications for Compressions One and Two and Three and Breathe 2 seconds
Compressions 2 thumb technique preferred
Medications: Epinephrine • Indication: Heart rate <60 after 30 sec of coordinated ventilation and compressions • 1:10,000 (0.1mg/ml) • Route: ETT or IV • 0.1-0.3 ml/kg • 1ml Term • 0.5ml Preterm • 0.25ml Extreme preterm
Extended Algorithm • Endotracheal Intubation if not already accomplished • Establish IV access with UVC • Stat CXR • Discontinue efforts if no heart rate after 15 minutes
Volume • Indication: No response to resuscitation and evidence of blood loss • Normal Saline • Ringers or Blood as alternatives • 10 ml/kg, may repeat • Route: IV (Umbilical vein)
Sodium Bicarbonate • Indication: Documented or assumed metabolic acidosis • Concentration: 4.2% NaHCO3 (0.5meq/ml) • Dose: 2meq/kg • Route: IV (Umbilical vein)
Naloxone (Narcan) • Indication: Severe respiratory depression after PPV has restored a normal HR and color and… • History of maternal narcotic administration within the past 4 hours • Dose: 0.1mg/kg of 1mg/ml solution • Route: ETT, IV, IM, SQ
Hypoglycemia • Blood Glucose <45-60 • 5cc/k D10W • Route IV
