For Starters …   Infant (< 1 yr old) mortality: 5 deaths per 1000 live births (Canada) Due to congenital anomalies, prematurity, asphyxia, infections, SIDS   Normal vitals for a baby at term: HR: /min * RR: 40-60/min * BP: 50-80/30-40 mmHg Sats: >95% by ~1 hr of age *

For Starters … Gestation (wks) Birth Weight (kg) (2.5 – 4.5)

Newborn Resuscitation  Initial steps: warm, dry, ‘stimulate’  Evaluate respirations  Evaluate heart rate  Evaluate tone  Evaluate color  Remember - the key to a baby’s transition to the real world is ‘opening’ the lungs: VENTILATION  Oxygenation

1. ‘Red’ blood from placenta 2. ‘Less red’ blood from right to left atrium via patent foramen ovale 3. Small amount of ‘pink’ blood going to lungs In-utero 4. Pink blood goes from the pulmonary artery to aorta via ductus arteriosus … produces mixing of pink and less red blood

1. Cord is clamped  Increases SVR 2. Foramen ovale functionally closes 3. Pulmonary arteries vasodilate to increase blood flow to the lungs Ex-utero 4. Ductus arteriosus closes

Fluid-filled alveoli in utero Diminished blood flow in-utero through fetal lungs
