Neonatal Resuscitation -ALS- RC 290
Golden Rule: Always Establish Airway and Ventilation Before Using ALS Procedures Apgar Scores: • 7-10:Free flow O2 • 4-6: PPV with 100% FIO2 • 0-3: Intubate, PPV with 100% FIO2, ALS
Sodium Bicarb: Dose with ABGs • Bicarb Dose = [BE] x weight in kilograms 3 • Give half of this dose or [BE] x weight in kilos 6 • Remember, sodium bicarb will increase CO2 production, so an airway and ventilation must be established before giving this drug!
Hypoglycemia and Glucose • Hypoglycemic if blood glucose < than 40 mg/dl • Treatment: • Initially a bolus of 200mg/kg of D10W (10% glucose in water) • IV infusion of 4-8 mg/kg/min
Artificial Airways Indications (same as an adult): • Relief of upper airway obstruction • Facilitation of secretion removal • Protection of the airway, eg prevent aspiration • Facilitation of mechanical ventilation
Neonatal ET Tubes • ID is 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, or 4.0 mm • No cuff! • Murphy hole helps maintain patency in case tip becomes occluded
Intubation Procedure , and good Pox
Securing an ET Tube Each hospital does it differently
Trauma Hypoxia Atelectasis Airway obstruction and increased W.O.B. Use only size 5 Fr or 8 Fr Arrhythmia Hypotension Infection Suctioning: Hazards like an adult but infant is more susceptible
Suction Technique (using 2 people) Hyperinflate and hyperoxygenate by increasing rate
