Newborn resuscitation: A 20 minute baptism of fire
Newborn resuscitationWhy is resuscitation at birth different?
Newborn Babies:• Are wet so they get cold• Have lungs that are unexpanded and full of fluid•Take minutes for oxygen saturation to rise

Newborn resuscitationWhy is resuscitation at birth different?
Newborn Babies:•Have a facility for agonal (spinal) gasping • a “second chance” for ventilation
•Have hearts that have extra energy to keep going•Have a convenient site for central vascular access

Newborn resuscitationWhy is resuscitation at birth different?
Of the 280,078 live born infants in Australia in 2006:• 61% required no intervention• 16% received oxygen therapy• 15% received suctioning• 6% received bag-mask ventilation• 0.7% received intubation and IPPV• 0.2% received ECM

Newborn resuscitation Assessment
Airway, Breathing and Circulation
all assessed before and during resuscitation:
Tone, Breathing, Heart Rate and Oxygenation
Newborn resuscitationBasic approach
• Maintain normothermia
Newborn resuscitationBasic approach
• Assess: tone, breathing, heart rate, oxygenation
• Maintain normothermia
• Breathing: inflation breaths; consider PEEP; consider O2
• Circulation: - chest compressions (2 thumb technique) - 3:1 ventilation:ECM- adrenaline via umbilical vein

Translation of the evidenceSurvey of Australian and New Zealand maternity hospitals without NICU facilities in 2009-10
• 93% of respondents were aware of ARC algorithm • 91% advocated the use of blended oxygen
• 20% of hospitals had capacity to deliver blended oxygen• 19% of hospitals had guidelines • 38% used pulse oximeters at delivery

Newborn resuscitationSummary
• An approach to resuscitation of the newly born infant is addressed in the APLS course but cannot be adequately taught to equip candidates with the skills to translate the concepts into practice
• Emphasis should be on understanding the normal transition from fetus to newborn and a focus on the importance of providing breathing support when necessary, with strong reference to relevant guidelines
