According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition algorithm, at what point during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor recommended to assess the baby's heart rate? Rescuer 2 verbalizes the need for chest compressions. Similarly, meta-analysis of 2 quasi-randomized trials showed no difference in moderate-to-severe neurodevelopmental impairment at 1 to 3 years of age. Use of ECG for heart rate detection does not replace the need for pulse oximetry to evaluate oxygen saturation or the need for supplemental oxygen. In one RCT and one observational study, there were no reports of technical difficulties with ECG monitoring during neonatal resuscitation, supporting its feasibility as a tool for monitoring heart rate during neonatal resuscitation. Once the heart rate increases to more than 60 bpm, chest compressions are stopped. Reviews in 2021 and later will address choice of devices and aids, including those required for ventilation (T-piece, self-inflating bag, flow-inflating bag), ventilation interface (face mask, laryngeal mask), suction (bulb syringe, meconium aspirator), monitoring (respiratory function monitors, heart rate monitoring, near infrared spectroscopy), feedback, and documentation. One small manikin study (very low quality), compared the 2 thumbencircling hands technique and 2-finger technique during 60 seconds of uninterrupted chest compressions. The ILCOR task force review, when comparing PPV with sustained inflation breaths, defined PPV to have an inspiratory time of 1 second or less, based on expert opinion. In a randomized controlled simulation study, medical students who underwent booster training retained improved neonatal intubation skills over a 6-week period compared with medical students who did not receive booster training. Another barrier is the difficulty in obtaining antenatal consent for clinical trials in the delivery room. Author disclosure: No relevant financial affiliations. Physicians who provide obstetric care should be aware of maternal-fetal risk factors1 and should assess the risk of respiratory depression with each delivery.19 The obstetric team should inform the neonatal resuscitation team of the risk status for each delivery and continue to focus on obstetric care. The heart rate should be re-checked after 1 minute of giving compressions and ventilations. A multicenter quality improvement study demonstrated high staff compliance with the use of a neonatal resuscitation bundle that included briefing and an equipment checklist. Oximetry and electrocardiography are important adjuncts in babies requiring resuscitation. The heart rate response to chest compressions and medications should be monitored electrocardiographically. If a baby does not begin breathing . If resuscitation is required, electrocardiography should be used, especially with chest compressions. Once the infant is brought to the warmer, the head is kept in the sniffing position to open the airway. In other situations, clamping and cutting of the cord may also be deferred while respiratory, cardiovascular, and thermal transition is evaluated and initial steps are undertaken. NRP courses are moving from the HealthStream platform to RQI. Saturday: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. CT The following sections are worth special attention. Rapid evaluation: this evaluation determines if the baby can stay wit the mother for routine care or should be moved to the radiant warmer Airway: The initial steps open the airway and support spontaneous respirations. Excessive chest wall movement should be avoided.2,6, In spontaneously breathing preterm infants with respiratory distress, either CPAP or endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation may be used.1,5,6, In preterm infants less than 32 weeks' gestation, an initial oxygen concentration of more than 21 percent (30 to 40 percent), but less than 100 percent should be used. Naloxone and sodium bicarbonate are rarely needed and are not recommended during neonatal resuscitation. All Rights Reserved. When providing chest compressions to a newborn, the 2 thumbencircling hands technique may have benefit over the 2-finger technique with respect to blood pressure generation and provider fatigue. It is reasonable to perform all resuscitation procedures, including endotracheal intubation, chest compressions, and insertion of intravenous lines with temperature-controlling interventions in place. On the other hand, overestimation of heart rate when a newborn is bradycardic may delay necessary interventions. Provide chest compressions if the heart rate is absent or remains <60 bpm despite adequate assisted ventilation for 30 seconds. The use of radiant warmers, plastic bags and wraps (with a cap), increased room temperature, and warmed humidified inspired gases can be effective in preventing hypothermia in preterm babies in the delivery room. Therapeutic hypothermia is provided under defined protocols similar to those used in published clinical trials and in facilities capable of multidisciplinary care and longitudinal follow-up. Median time to ROSC and cumulative epinephrine dose required were not different. It may be possible to identify conditions in which withholding or discontinuation of resuscitative efforts may be reasonably considered by families and care providers. Optimal PEEP has not been determined, because all human studies used a PEEP level of 5 cm H2O.1822, It is reasonable to initiate PPV at a rate of 40 to 60/min to newly born infants who have ineffective breathing, are apneic, or are persistently bradycardic (heart rate less than 100/min) despite appropriate initial actions (including tactile stimulation).1, To match the natural breathing pattern of both term and preterm newborns, the inspiratory time while delivering PPV should be 1 second or less. Noninitiation of resuscitation and discontinuation of life-sustaining treatment during or after resuscitation should be considered ethically equivalent. Oximetry is used to target the natural range of oxygen saturation levels that occur in term babies. Successful neonatal resuscitation efforts depend on critical actions that must occur in rapid succession to maximize the chances of survival. Please contact the American Heart Association at ECCEditorial@heart.org or 1-214-706-1886 to request a long description of . Appropriate and timely support should be provided to all involved. Traditionally, 100 percent oxygen has been used to achieve a rapid increase in tissue oxygen in infants with respiratory depression. Intraosseous needles are reasonable, but local complications have been reported. The inability of newly born infants to establish and sustain adequate or spontaneous respiration contributes significantly to these early deaths and to the burden of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome among survivors. For participants who have been trained in neonatal resuscitation, individual or team booster training should occur more frequently than every 2 yr at a frequency that supports retention of knowledge, skills, and behaviors. TALKAD S. RAGHUVEER, MD, AND AUSTIN J. COX, MD. Epinephrine dosing may be repeated every three to five minutes if the heart rate remains less than 60 beats per minute. A large multicenter RCT found higher rates of intraventricular hemorrhage with cord milking in preterm babies born at less than 28 weeks gestational age. For newly born infants who are unintentionally hypothermic (temperature less than 36C) after resuscitation, it may be reasonable to rewarm either rapidly (0.5C/h) or slowly (less than 0.5C/h). For term and preterm infants who require resuscitation at birth, there is insufficient evidence to recommend early cord clamping versus delayed cord clamping. The following knowledge gaps require further research: For all these gaps, it is important that we have information on outcomes considered critical or important by both healthcare providers and families of newborn infants. (if you are using the 0.1 mg/kg dose.) The heart rate should be re- checked after 1 minute of giving compressions and ventilations. However, free radicals are generated when successful resuscitation results in reperfusion and restoration of oxygen delivery to organs.44 Use of 100 percent oxygen may increase the load of oxygen free radicals, which can potentially lead to end-organ damage. Randomized trials have shown that infants born at 36 weeks' gestation or later with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy who were cooled to 92.3F (33.5C) within six hours after birth had significantly lower mortality and less disability at 18 months compared with those not cooled. A person viewing it online may make one printout of the material and may use that printout only for his or her personal, non-commercial reference. If the response to chest compressions is poor, it may be reasonable to provide epinephrine, preferably via the intravenous route. When blood loss is suspected in a newly born infant who responds poorly to resuscitation (ventilation, chest compressions, and/or epinephrine), it may be reasonable to administer a volume expander without delay. Title: Microsoft PowerPoint - CPS GR Final Author: JackieM Created Date: 9/10/2021 9:22:37 PM A systematic review (low to moderate certainty) of 6 RCTs showed that early skin-to-skin contact promotes normothermia in healthy neonates. Each of these resulted in a description of the literature that facilitated guideline development.1417, Each AHA writing group reviewed all relevant and current AHA guidelines for CPR and ECC1820 and all relevant 2020 ILCOR International Consensus on CPR and ECC Science With Treatment Recommendations evidence and recommendations21 to determine if current guidelines should be reaffirmed, revised, or retired, or if new recommendations were needed. There is a history of acute blood loss around the time of delivery. The AHA has rigorous conflict of interest policies and procedures to minimize the risk of bias or improper influence during development of the guidelines.13 Before appointment, writing group members and peer reviewers disclosed all commercial relationships and other potential (including intellectual) conflicts. The current guidelines have focused on clinical activities described in the resuscitation algorithm, rather than on the most appropriate devices for each step. Heart rate is assessed initially by auscultation and/or palpation. Exothermic mattresses have been reported to cause local heat injury and hyperthermia.15, When babies are born in out-of-hospital, resource-limited, or remote settings, it may be reasonable to prevent hypothermia by using a clean food-grade plastic bag13 as an alternative to skin-to-skin contact.8. All guidelines were reviewed and approved for publication by the AHA Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee and AHA Executive Committee. Heart rate assessment is best performed by auscultation. Intravenous epinephrine is preferred because plasma epinephrine levels increase much faster than with endotracheal administration. Newly born infants with abnormal glucose levels (both low and high) are at increased risk for brain injury and adverse outcomes after a hypoxic-ischemic insult. Positive pressure ventilation should be provided at 40 to 60 inflations per minute with peak inflation pressures up to 30 cm of water in term newborns and 20 to 25 cm of water in preterm infants. Evidence suggests that warming can be done rapidly (0.5C/h) or slowly (less than 0.5C/h) with no significant difference in outcomes.1519 Caution should be taken to avoid overheating. Various combinations of warming strategies (or bundles) may be reasonable to prevent hypothermia in very preterm babies. Before appointment, all peer reviewers were required to disclose relationships with industry and any other potential conflicts of interest, and all disclosures were reviewed by AHA staff. There was no difference in neonatal intubation performance after weekly booster practice for 4 weeks compared with daily booster practice for 4 consecutive days. The heart rate should be verbalized for the team. Although current guidelines recommend using 100% oxygen while providing chest compressions, no studies have confirmed a benefit of using 100% oxygen compared to any other oxygen concentration, including air (21%). It may be reasonable to provide volume expansion with normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) or blood at 10 to 20 mL/kg. An improvement in heart rate and establishment of breathing or crying are all signs of effective PPV. The dose of epinephrine can be re-peated after 3-5 minutes if the initial dose is ineffective or can be repeated immediately if initial dose is given by endo-tracheal tube in the absence of an intravenous access. In preterm newly born infants, the routine use of sustained inflations to initiate resuscitation is potentially harmful and should not be performed. Most changes are related to program administration and course facilitation. See permissionsforcopyrightquestions and/or permission requests. In term infants, delaying clamping increases hematocrit and iron levels without increasing rates of phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal intensive care, or mortality. For spontaneously breathing preterm infants who require respiratory support immediately after delivery, it is reasonable to use CPAP rather than intubation. When possible, healthy term babies should be managed skin-to-skin with their mothers. Several animal studies found that ventilation with high volumes caused lung injury, impaired gas exchange, and reduced lung compliance in immature animals. If the heart rate has not increased to 60/ min or more after optimizing ventilation and chest compressions, it may be reasonable to administer intravascular* epinephrine (0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg). Before every birth, a standardized equipment checklist should be used to ensure the presence and function of supplies and equipment necessary for a complete resuscitation.

When providing chest compressions to a newborn, it may be reasonable to choose the 2 thumbencircling hands technique over the 2-finger technique, as the 2 thumbencircling hands technique is associated with improved blood pressure and less provider fatigue. In animal studies (very low quality), the use of alterative compression-to-inflation ratios to 3:1 (eg, 2:1, 4:1, 5:1, 9:3, 15:2, and continuous chest compressions with asynchronous PPV) are associated with similar times to ROSC and mortality rates. Aim for about 30 breaths min-1 with an inflation time of ~one second. A randomized trial showed that endotracheal suctioning of vigorous. External validity might be improved by studying the relevant learner or provider populations and by measuring the impact on critical patient and system outcomes rather than limiting study to learner outcomes. In addition, some conditions are so severe that the burdens of the illness and treatment greatly outweigh the likelihood of survival or a healthy outcome.

Ventilation using a flow-inflating bag, self-inflating bag, or T-piece device can be effective. Copyright 2021 by the American Academy of Family Physicians. If skilled health care professionals are available, infants weighing less than 1 kg, 1 to 3 kg, and 3 kg or more can be intubated with 2.5-, 3-, and 3.5-mm endotracheal tubes, respectively. Other important goals include establishment and maintenance of cardiovascular and temperature stability as well as the promotion of mother-infant bonding and breast feeding, recognizing that healthy babies transition naturally. minutes, and 80% at 5 minutes of life. Endotracheal suctioning may be useful in nonvigorous infants with respiratory depression born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid. Providing PPV at a rate of 40 to 60 inflations per minute is based on expert opinion. Identification of risk factors for resuscitation may indicate the need for additional personnel and equipment. If it is possible to identify such conditions at or before birth, it is reasonable not to initiate resuscitative efforts. In babies who appear to have ineffective respiratory effort after birth, tactile stimulation is reasonable. Both hands encircling chest Thumbs side by side or overlapping on lower half of . IV epinephrine If HR persistently below 60/min Consider hypovolemia Consider pneumothorax HR below 60/min? Rate is 40 - 60/min. In newly born infants who require PPV, it is reasonable to use peak inflation pressure to inflate the lung and achieve a rise in heart rate. When do chest compressions stop NRP? Copyright 2023 American Academy of Family Physicians. All Rights Reserved. What is true about a pneumothorax in the newborn? Monday - Friday: 7 a.m. 7 p.m. CT Teams and individuals who provide neonatal resuscitation are faced with many challenges with respect to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to perform effectively. Clinical assessment of heart rate has been found to be both unreliable and inaccurate. The 7th edition of the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation recommends 0.5-mL to 1-mL flush following IV epinephrine (0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg dose) via a low-lying UVC [6]. Effective team behaviors, such as anticipation, communication, briefing, equipment checks, and assignment of roles, result in improved team performance and neonatal outcome. Closed on Sundays. Clinical assessment of heart rate by auscultation or palpation may be unreliable and inaccurate.14 Compared to ECG, pulse oximetry is both slower in detecting the heart rate and tends to be inaccurate during the first few minutes after birth.5,6,1012 Underestimation of heart rate can lead to potentially unnecessary interventions. The most important priority for newborn survival is the establishment of adequate lung inflation and ventilation after birth. PEEP has been shown to maintain lung volume during PPV in animal studies, thus improving lung function and oxygenation.16 PEEP may be beneficial during neonatal resuscitation, but the evidence from human studies is limited. This article has been copublished in Pediatrics. The exhaled carbon dioxide detector changes from purple to yellow with endotracheal intubation, and a negative result suggests esophageal intubation.5,6,25 Clinical indicators of endotracheal intubation, such as condensation in the tube, chest wall movement, or presence of bilateral equal breath sounds, have not been well studied. A multicenter randomized trial showed that intrapartum suctioning of meconium does not reduce the risk of meconium aspiration syndrome. For infants born at less than 28 wk of gestation, cord milking is not recommended. There was no difference in Apgar scores or blood gas with naloxone compared with placebo. Case series show small numbers of intact survivors after 20 minutes of no detectable heart rate. The primary goal of neonatal care at birth is to facilitate transition. Studies of newly born animals showed that PEEP facilitates lung aeration and accumulation of functional residual capacity, prevents distal airway collapse, increases lung surface area and compliance, decreases expiratory resistance, conserves surfactant, and reduces hyaline membrane formation, alveolar collapse, and the expression of proinflammatory mediators. History and physical examination findings suggestive of blood loss include a pale appearance, weak pulses, and persistent bradycardia (heart rate less than 60/min). In newborns born at 35 weeks' gestation or later, resuscitation starting with 21% oxygen reduces short-term mortality. If the heart rate remains less than 60/min despite these interventions, chest compressions can supply oxygenated blood to the brain until the heart rate rises. After chest compressions are performed for at least 2 minutes When an alternative airway is inserted Immediately after epinephrine is administered The neonatal epinephrine dose is 0.01 to 0.03 mg per kg (1:10,000 solution) given intravenously (via umbilical venous catheter).1,2,5,6 If there is any delay in securing venous access, epinephrine can be given via endotracheal tube at a higher dose of 0.05 to 0.10 mg per kg (1:10,000 solution), followed by intravenous dosing, if necessary, as soon as access is established.5, Naloxone is not recommended during neonatal resuscitation in the delivery room; infants with respiratory depression should be resuscitated with PPV.1,2,5,6 Volume expansion (using crystalloid or red blood cells) is recommended when blood loss is suspected (e.g., pale skin, poor perfusion, weak pulse) and when the infant's heart rate continues to be low despite effective resuscitation.5,6 Sodium bicarbonate is not recommended during neonatal resuscitation in the delivery room, because it does not improve survival or neurologic outcome.6,39, Approximately 7 to 20 percent of deliveries are complicated by meconium-stained amniotic fluid; these infants have a 2 to 9 percent risk of developing meconium aspiration syndrome.50 Oral and nasopharyngeal suction on the perineum is not recommended, because it has not been shown to reduce the risk of meconium aspiration syndrome.20 In the absence of randomized controlled trials, there is insufficient evidence to recommend changing the current practice of intubation and endotracheal suction in nonvigorous infants (as defined by decreased heart rate, respiratory effort, or muscle tone) born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid.1,2,5 However, if attempted intubation is prolonged or unsuccessful, and bradycardia is present, bag and mask ventilation is advised.5,6 Endotracheal suctioning of vigorous infants is not recommended.1,2,5,6, Withholding resuscitation and offering comfort care is appropriate (with parental consent) in certain infants, such as very premature infants (born at less than 23 weeks' gestation or weighing less than 400 g) and infants with anencephaly or trisomy 13 syndrome.5 If there is no detectable heart rate after 10 minutes of resuscitation, it is appropriate to consider discontinuing resuscitation.5,6, Intravenous glucose infusion should be started soon after resuscitation to avoid hypoglycemia.5,6 In addition, infants born at 36 weeks' gestation or later with evolving moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy should be offered therapeutic hypothermia, using studied protocols, within six hours at a facility with capabilities of multidisciplinary care and long-term follow-up.57. Compared with preterm infants receiving early cord clamping, those receiving delayed cord clamping were less likely to receive medications for hypotension in a meta-analysis of 6 RCTs. "Epinephrine is indicated when the heart rate remains below 60 beats per minute after you have given 30 seconds of effective assisted ventilation (preferably after endotracheal intubation) and at least another 45 to 60 seconds of coordinated chest compressions and effective ventilation." (p 219) The effect of briefing and debriefing on longer-term and critical outcomes remains uncertain.
