Orientation to the world of
newborn
Topics covered

The NICU
◦ where to go
◦ what to do
Delivery room set up
 Review of neonatal resuscitation

Learning Objectives

Understand
◦ various mode of thermoregulation
◦ importance of communication
◦ steps in resuscitation of newborn
The NICU
 2nd
floor at Lakeside Hospital

 Wear gloves for all patient contact
 Wash hands between patients
 Please use the baby’s individual
stethoscope (found at baby’s bedside)
Scrub before entering NICU
Waterless Hand Wash
The NICU
Attend at least 1 delivery with NNP or
residents
 If parents ask questions, please refer them
to medical team
 Mute cell phone & talk softly around
babies
 Please wear scrubs while in the NICU

The NICU

Assigned patients by the residents
◦ Review history and physical with residents
◦ Pre-round with residents
◦ Review laboratory and radiology results with
residents
◦ Talk to RNs about patient and prior to
examining patient
Isolation Room – Gown & Glove
Isolette
The NICU

Present patients during rounds (usually
starts around 8.30-9.00am)
◦
◦
◦
◦
Brief history and current problems
Issues overnight
Vital signs, current weight & change in weight
Brief review of physical examination
The NICU

Present patients during rounds
◦ Intake (Type of feeds, TPN, amount,
nipple/gavage)
◦ Total intake (mL/kg/day) and output
(mL/kg/hr)
◦ Laboratory, radiology, consult results
◦ List of medications
◦ Assessment and plan for the day
The NICU
Rounds usually end by 11.30am
 Noon conference (for residents)
 Please remind attending and residents on
days you will not be present in the
afternoon
 In the afternoon or prior to leaving for
the day

◦ Check up on your patient
◦ Review assessment and plan with residents
The Delivery Room

Need to wear
◦
◦
◦
◦
Head cover
Mask
Shoe cover
You may be asked to scrub and wear scrub
gown to receive baby
Stand around radiant warmer
 Speak softly
 Be aware of sterile fields!

Hats, masks, shoe covers before
entering OR
Scrub area in OR
Neonatal Resuscitation
Most newborn transition to extrauterine
life without complications
 ~10% require some intervention
 10-20% from above require aggressive
intervention

Preparation prior to delivery

Adequate personnel
◦ Open communication with OB team
◦ Should have minimum of 3 person trained in
NRP for high risk deliveries
◦ Good communication within team
◦ Good coordination of function for each team
member
Preparation prior to delivery

Obtain information from OB nurses
◦
◦
◦
◦
Gestational age of baby
Why are we delivering?
Is meconium present (if membranes ruptured)
Any pertinent maternal history?
 Fever
 Pertinent labs
 Complications during pregnancy/labor

Pass above information to rest of team!
Preparation prior to delivery

Equipments
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Radiant warmer
Warm blankets (lots of it!)
Stethoscope
Plastic wrap for babies <1000g
Bag-mask ventilation
Oxygen blender
Laryngoscope
Endotracheal tubes
Suction
Preparation prior to delivery

Radiant warmer
◦ Switch on when enter delivery room
◦ Provides radiant heat
◦ Make sure sides are up to prevent convective
heat loss

Warm dry blankets
◦ Provides conductive heat
◦ Prevents evaporative heat loss
Radiant warmer in DR
Preparation prior to delivery

Check equipments
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Put on gloves!
Resuscitation bag, air flow & oxygen
Suction device (bulb and wall suction)
Meconium aspirator (if meconium present)
Laryngoscope and endotracheal tube
Preparation prior to delivery
Ensure have adequate personnel
 Assign roles to team members

◦ Be specific (who, what, when)
◦ Be aware of what and how team members are
performing
Vocalize findings/difficulties to team
members
 Do not be afraid to CALL FOR HELP

Initial Resuscitation

Provide warmth
◦ Turn on radiant warmer
◦ Place baby on warm dry blanket

Dry and Stimulate
◦ Dry baby with warm dry blanket
◦ Remove wet linen from baby
Initial Resuscitation

Airway
◦ Clear airway with bulb syringe
 Mouth 1st, nose 2nd
◦ Position baby to open airway
Initial Resuscitation

Breathing
◦ Primary apnea
 Can be reversed by stimulation
 Rub backs and flick heels
 Do NOT turn baby upside down!
◦ Secondary apnea
 Require bag and mask ventilation
 May require endotracheal intubation
Initial Resuscitation

Pick the right size of mask
◦ Fit from bridge of nose to chin
◦ Do not cover eyes
Wood FE et al; Arch Dis Child – Fetal and Neonatal Ed 2008;93:F230-4
Flow-inflating bag
Initial resuscitation

Breathing
◦ Term infant may require peak PIP 20-30
cmH20 initial inflation pressure
◦ Provide 30-60 breaths a minute
Initial resuscitation

Circulation
◦
◦
◦
◦
Assess color, tone and heart rate
Palpate brachial and umbilicus for pulse
Tap out heart rate
Chest compression if needed
 2 different techniques
Assessing Heart Rate
Palpation for umbilical pulse and
Auscultation by stethoscope
Palpation for brachial pulse
Chest compression techniques
2 finger technique
2 hand technique –
thumbs side-by-side
over midsternum
Transport Isolette
Apgar Scores
Developed by Virginia Apgar in 1953
 To assess effectiveness of resuscitative
efforts
 Assess heart rate, respiration, color, tone
and grimace

 For Students: review articles
 Complete test (may work in group)
 For Interns: complete 4 consecutive
(weekly) resident readiness tests

◦ Email completed tests to Priscilla Busch
 [email protected]
 Completion of assigned test(s) is mandatory.
 Failure to Complete a test will result in failure of
the rotation (for students or interns).
