Physiological Responses of the Newborn to BirthRespiratory Adaptations: Mechanical changes Chemical changes Thermal changes Sensory changes
Fetal and Neonatal Circulation
Normal Term Newborn Cord Blood
Neutral Thermal Environmental Temperatures
Physiologic Adaptations to Extrauterine Life
Newborn Urinalysis Values
Cardiovascular Adaptations Decreased pulmonary vascular resistance and
increased blood flowIncreased systemic pressure and closure of
ductus venosusIncreased left atrium and decreased right
atrium pressureClosure of foramen ovale
Reversal of blood flow through ductus arteriosus and increased PO2Closure of ductus arteriosus
Transitional circulation: conversion from fetal to neonatal circulation.
Fetal-neonatal circulation. A, Pattern of blood flow and oxygenation in fetal circulation. B, Pattern of blood flow and oxygenation in transitional circulation of the newborn. C, Pattern of blood flow and oxygenation in neonatal circulation.
Fetal Laboratory Value ChangesDecreased erythropoietin productionRise of hemoglobin concentrationPhysiologic anemia of infancyLeukocytosisDecreased percentage of neutrophils
Thermogenesis in the NewbornLarge body surface area compared to massTypes of heat loss

Types of Bilirubin Unconjugated bilirubinConjugated bilirubinTotal bilirubin
Conjugation and Excretion of Bilirubin Bilirubin is transported in blood via albuminBilirubin is transferred into the hepatocytesAttachment of unconjugated bilirubin to
glucuronic acidExcreted into bile ducts, then into the
common duct and duodenumBacteria transform it into urobilinogen and
stercobilinogenBilirubin is excreted in urine and stool
Jaundice
Physiologic Jaundice Accelerated destruction of fetal RBCs
Increased amounts of bilirubin delivered to liver
Inadequate hepatic circulationImpaired conjugation of bilirubin
Defective uptake of bilirubin from the plasma
Defective conjugation of the bilirubin
Physiologic Jaundice (continued) Increased bilirubin reabsorption
Defect in bilirubin excretionIncreased reabsorption of bilirubin from the
intestine
Liver Adaptations Iron content stored in liverLow carbohydrate reservesMain source of energy is glucoseLiver begins to conjugate bilirubinLack of intestinal flora results in low levels of
vitamin K
GI Adaptations Sufficient enzymes except for amylaseDigests and absorbs fats less efficientlySalivary glands are immatureStomach has capacity of 50-60 mLCardiac sphincter is immature
Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
Less able to concentrate urineLimited tubular reabsorption of waterLimited excretion of solutesLimited dilutional capabilities
Immunologic Responses in the Newborn
IgG – passive acquired immunity via placentaIgM – usually not passively transferred
Elevated levels may indicate fetal antigenic activity in utero
IgA – passive acquired immunity via colostrum
Periods of Reactivity First period of reactivitySleep phaseSecond period of reactivity
Mother and baby gaze at each other. This quiet alert state is the optimal state for interaction
