insert via nasal passage tip at level of the posterior pharynx
call Peds ENT stat if you can’t secure an airway

How will you manage this?
![Page 13: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Delivery Room Management:Gastroschisis
ABC’s of resuscitation Warm, saline-soaked lap sponges, plastic wrap
or bowel bag to cover the intestines Decompression of the bowel ASAP Avoid volvulus of the mesenteric vessels Avoid tearing bowel mesentery or causing
unnecessary damage to bowel Remember importance of thermoregulation
and controlling fluid losses
![Page 14: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
GastroschisisEmbryology
Intestines herniate through the abdominal wall
Area weakened by involution of the right umbilical vein (theoretical)
Sequence occurs relatively early in gestation
Differs from omphalocele
![Page 15: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

bowel compromise

Case # 4
Summoned to the LDR for a meconium delivery
Light mec is present and the infant cries immediately upon delivery
Within 15 seconds respiratory distress ensues
![Page 21: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Case # 4 You initiate A, B, C’s of resuscitation PPV is ineffective cyanosis is worsening HR begins to decline BS are decreased on the left compared to
the right You notice the abdomen looks like this
![Page 22: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Case # 4 Resuscitation
Intubation to overcome resp distress or failure Bowel decompression to prevent gas from inflating
the bowel Physiologic consequences of D-Hernia
Pulmonary hypoplasia Pulmonary hypertension Air leak syndrome Non-rotation of the bowel Feeding difficulties

Case # 4 1 in 3,000 90% occur on the left side Abdominal content within chest Compresses both lungs Pulmonary hypoplasia Pulmonary hypertension
NO and/or ECMO Definitive tx---surgical repair
![Page 27: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Case # 5 You are called to see a newborn shortly
after delivery for “coughing” Mild respiratory distress
tachypnea and “gasping” respirations You suction
coughing persists oral secretions continue to pool in the back
of the throat
![Page 28: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Case # 5 What are your next steps? Oral suction, pulse ox, OG, IV Evaluation for infection
Blood culture, cbc, abx, chest film
![Page 30: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Case # 5
Abdominal distention continues to increase followed by worsening resp distress and cyanosis
Next step?
Will intubation help decrease abdominal distention?
![Page 32: Neonatal Emergencies Beyond the A,B,C’s of Resuscitation in the DR and NICU](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649ed45503460f94be48f9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Case # 5
Causes of increased Resp distress? Secretions TEF leading to increased intestinal gas Anal atresia----no decompression
How do you relieve the abdominal distention?
What syndrome would you consider?
