When anticipating a high-risk birth, a preresuscitation team briefing should be completed to identify potential interventions and assign roles and responsibilities. Newly born infants who breathe spontaneously need to establish a functional residual capacity after birth.8 Some newly born infants experience respiratory distress, which manifests as labored breathing or persistent cyanosis. Consider pneumothorax. If the infant's heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute after effective positive pressure ventilation, then chest compressions should be initiated with continued positive pressure ventilation (3:1 ratio of compressions to ventilation; 90 compressions and 30 breaths per minute). The wet cloth beneath the infant is changed.5 Respiratory effort is assessed to see if the infant has apnea or gasping respiration, and the heart rate is counted by feeling the umbilical cord pulsations or by auscultating the heart for six seconds (e.g., heart rate of six in six seconds is 60 beats per minute [bpm]). Limited observational studies suggest that tactile stimulation may improve respiratory effort. Delayed cord clamping is associated with higher hematocrit after birth and better iron levels in infancy.921 While developmental outcomes have not been adequately assessed, iron deficiency is associated with impaired motor and cognitive development.2426 It is reasonable to delay cord clamping (longer than 30 seconds) in preterm babies because it reduces need for blood pressure support and transfusion and may improve survival.18, There are insufficient studies in babies requiring PPV before cord clamping to make a recommendation.22 Early cord clamping should be considered for cases when placental transfusion is unlikely to occur, such as maternal hemorrhage or hemodynamic instability, placental abruption, or placenta previa.27 There is no evidence of maternal harm from delayed cord clamping compared with early cord clamping.1012,2834 Cord milking is being studied as an alternative to delayed cord clamping but should be avoided in babies less than 28 weeks gestational age, because it is associated with brain injury.23, Temperature should be measured and recorded after birth and monitored as a measure of quality.1 The temperature of newly born babies should be maintained between 36.5C and 37.5C.2 Hypothermia (less than 36C) should be prevented as it is associated with increased neonatal mortality and morbidity, especially in very preterm (less than 33 weeks) and very low-birthweight babies (less than 1500 g), who are at increased risk for hypothermia.35,7 It is also reasonable to prevent hyperthermia as it may be associated with harm.4,6, Healthy babies should be skin-to-skin after birth.8 For preterm and low-birth-weight babies or babies requiring resuscitation, warming adjuncts (increased ambient temperature [greater than 23C], skin-to-skin care, radiant warmers, plastic wraps or bags, hats, blankets, exothermic mattresses, and warmed humidified inspired gases)10,11,14 individually or in combination may reduce the risk of hypothermia. 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. For nonvigorous newborns with meconium-stained fluid, endotracheal suctioning is indicated only if obstruction limits positive pressure ventilation, because suctioning does not improve outcomes. The following sections are worth special attention. It is reasonable to perform all resuscitation procedures, including endotracheal intubation, chest compressions, and insertion of intravenous lines with temperature-controlling interventions in place. The newly born period extends from birth to the end of resuscitation and stabilization in the delivery area. A large multicenter RCT found higher rates of intraventricular hemorrhage with cord milking in preterm babies born at less than 28 weeks gestational age. Therapeutic hypothermia is recommended in infants born at 36 weeks' gestation or later with evolving moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. RCTs and observational studies of warming adjuncts, alone and in combination, demonstrate reduced rates of hypothermia in very preterm and very low-birth-weight babies. To start, 21% to 30% oxygen should be used in these newborns, titrating up based on oxygen saturation. In term and late preterm newborns (35 wk or more of gestation) receiving respiratory support at birth, the initial use of 21% oxygen is reasonable. Epinephrine use in the delivery room for resuscitation of the newborn is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Exhaled carbon dioxide detectors to confirm endotracheal tube placement. The initiation of chest compressions in newborn babies with a heart rate less than 60/min is based on expert opinion because there are no clinical or physiological human studies addressing this question. According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition, what volume of normal saline flush should you administer? None of these studies evaluate outcomes of resuscitation that extends beyond 20 minutes of age, by which time the likelihood of intact survival was very low. This article has been copublished in Pediatrics. Plasma epinephrine concentrations at 1 min after epinephrine administration were not different. What is true about a pneumothorax in the newborn? Administration of epinephrine via a low-lying umbilical venous catheter provides the most rapid and reliable medication delivery. Tell your doctor if you have ever had: heart disease or high blood pressure; asthma; Parkinson's disease; depression or mental illness; a thyroid disorder; or. Routine oral, nasal, oropharyngeal, or endotracheal suctioning of newly born babies is not recommended. Even healthy babies who breathe well after birth benefit from facilitation of normal transition, including appropriate cord management and thermal protection with skin-to-skin care. In resource-limited settings, it may be reasonable to place newly born babies in a clean food-grade plastic bag up to the level of the neck and swaddle them in order to prevent hypothermia. Case series show small numbers of intact survivors after 20 minutes of no detectable heart rate. If there is ineffective breathing effort or apnea after birth, tactile stimulation may stimulate breathing. These situations benefit from expert consultation, parental involvement in decision-making, and, if indicated, a palliative care plan.1,2,46. You're welcome to take the quiz as many times as you'd like. Breathing: Assist breathing with PPV if baby apneic, gasping, or bradycardic. A newly born infant in shock from blood loss may respond poorly to the initial resuscitative efforts of ventilation, chest compressions, and/or epinephrine. 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]. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Formula for Survival emphasizes 3 essential components for good resuscitation outcomes: guidelines based on sound resuscitation science, effective education of resuscitation providers, and implementation of effective and timely resuscitation.8 The 2020 neonatal guidelines contain recommendations, based on the best available resuscitation science, for the most impactful steps to perform in the birthing room and in the neonatal period. Cord milking in preterm infants should be avoided because of increased risk of intraventricular hemorrhage. In term and preterm newly born infants, it is reasonable to initiate PPV with an inspiratory time of 1 second or less. As mortality and severe morbidities decline with biomedical advancements and improvements in healthcare delivery, there is decreased ability to have adequate power for some clinical questions using traditional individual patient randomized trials. 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? A large observational study found that delaying PPV increases risk of death and prolonged hospitalization. Excessive peak inflation pressures are potentially harmful and should be avoided. In the delivery room setting, the primary method of vascular access is umbilical venous catheterization. Hyperthermia should be avoided.1,2,6, Delivery room temperature should be set at at least 78.8F (26C) for infants less than 28 weeks' gestation.6. In preterm newborns (less than 35 wk of gestation) receiving respiratory support at birth, it may be reasonable to begin with 21% to 30% oxygen with subsequent oxygen titration based on pulse oximetry. Newly born infants born at 36 wk or more estimated gestational age with evolving moderate-to-severe HIE should be offered therapeutic hypothermia under clearly defined protocols. Compared with term infants receiving early cord clamping, term infants receiving delayed cord clamping had increased hemoglobin concentration within the first 24 hours and increased ferritin concentration in the first 3 to 6 months in meta-analyses of 12 and 6 RCTs. In addition, specific recommendations about the training of resuscitation providers and systems of care are provided in their respective guideline Parts.9,10. 1. 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). There was no difference in Apgar scores or blood gas with naloxone compared with placebo. Case series in preterm infants have found that most preterm infants can be resuscitated using PPV inflation pressures in the range of 20 to 25 cm H. An observational study including 1962 infants between 23 and 33 weeks gestational age reported lower rates of mortality and chronic lung disease when giving PPV with PEEP versus no PEEP. When do chest compressions stop NRP? 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 material may not otherwise be downloaded, copied, printed, stored, transmitted or reproduced in any medium, whether now known or later invented, except as authorized in writing by the AAFP. A meta-analysis of 5 randomized and quasirandomized trials enrolling term and late preterm newborns showed no difference in rates of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Circulation. Medications are rarely needed in resuscitation of the newly born infant because low heart rate usually results from a very low oxygen level in the fetus or inadequate lung inflation after birth. Exhaled carbon dioxide detectors can be used to confirm endotracheal tube placement in an infant. Alternative compression-to-ventilation ratios to 3:1, as well as asynchronous PPV (administration of inflations to a patient that are not coordinated with chest compressions), are routinely utilized outside the newborn period, but the preferred method in the newly born is 3:1 in synchrony. 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 . Endotracheal intubation is indicated in very premature infants; for suctioning of nonvigorous infants born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid; and when bag and mask ventilation is necessary for more than two to three minutes, PPV via face mask does not increase heart rate, or chest compressions are needed. ECG (3-lead) displays a reliable heart rate faster than pulse oximetry. Part 2: Evidence Evaluation and Guidelines Development, Part 3: Adult Basic and Advanced Life Support, Part 4: Pediatric Basic and Advanced Life Support, Part 9: COVID-19 Interim Guidance for Healthcare Providers, Part 10: COVID-19 Interim Guidance for EMS, 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Oximetry is used to target the natural range of oxygen saturation levels that occur in term babies. An important point is that ventilation has been shown to be the most effective measure in neonatal resuscitation If the infant's heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute after adequate positive pressure ventilation and chest compressions, intravenous epinephrine at 0.01 to 0.03 mg per kg (1:10,000 solution) is recommended. Copyright 2023 American Academy of Family Physicians. After birth, the baby should be dried and placed directly skin-to-skin with attention to warm coverings and maintenance of normal temperature. Newly born infants who required advanced resuscitation are at significant risk of developing moderate-to-severe HIE. The American Heart Association is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Supplemental oxygen: 100 vs. 21 percent (room air). When attempts at endotracheal intubation are unsuccessful, laryngeal mask airway (size 1) is an alternative for providing PPV in infants weighing more than 2 kg or in infants greater than 34 weeks' gestation.5,6,26, Neonatal resuscitation aims to restore tissue oxygen delivery before irreversible damage occurs. On the basis of animal research, the progression from primary apnea to secondary apnea in newborns results in the cessation of respiratory activity before the onset of cardiac failure.4 This cycle of events differs from that of asphyxiated adults, who experience concurrent respiratory and cardiac failure. For term and preterm infants who require resuscitation at birth, there is insufficient evidence to recommend early cord clamping versus delayed cord clamping. If the baby is apneic or has a heart rate less than 100 bpm Begin the initial steps Warm, dry and stimulate for 30 seconds This guideline affirms the previous recommendations. In term and late preterm newborns (35 wk or more of gestation) receiving respiratory support at birth, 100% oxygen should not be used because it is associated with excess mortality. Applying Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence to Clinical Strategies, Interventions, Treatments, or Diagnostic Testing in Patient Numerous nonrandomized quality improvement (very low to low certainty) studies support the use of warming adjunct bundles.. A new Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) program for NRP focused on PPV will be . 1 Exhaled carbon dioxide detection is the recommended method of confirming endotracheal intubation. Suction should also be considered if there is evidence of airway obstruction during PPV, Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal suctioning are not routinely required for babies born through MSAF but can be beneficial in babies who have evidence of airway obstruction while receiving PPV.7. Term newborns with good muscle tone who are breathing or crying should be brought to their mother's chest routinely. Reduce the inflation pressure if the chest is moving well. Newer methods of chest compression, using a sustained inflation that maintains lung inflation while providing chest compressions, are under investigation and cannot be recommended at this time outside research protocols.12,13. In newborns born before 35 weeks' gestation, oxygen concentrations above 50% are no more effective than lower concentrations. Effective and timely resuscitation at birth could therefore improve neonatal outcomes further. 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. Expert neonatal and bioethical committees have agreed that, in certain clinical conditions, it is reasonable not to initiate or to discontinue life-sustaining efforts while continuing to provide supportive care for babies and families.1,2,4, If the heart rate remains undetectable and all steps of resuscitation have been completed, it may be reasonable to redirect goals of care. The studies were too heterogeneous to be amenable to meta-analysis. - 14446398 Ventilation should be optimized before starting chest compressions, possibly including endotracheal intubation. The dose of Epinephrine via the UVC is 0.1 mg/kg - 0.5 mg/kg It may be easier for you to use 0.1 mg/kg for the UVC access.. For an infant weighing 1 kg the dose becomes 0.1 ml. Hyperlinked references are provided to facilitate quick access and review. Wrapping, in addition to radiant heat, improves admission temperature of preterm infants. PPV may be initiated with air (21% oxygen) in term and late preterm babies, and up to 30% oxygen in preterm babies. 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. PPV remains the primary method for providing support for newborns who are apneic, bradycardic, or demonstrate inadequate respiratory effort. Multiple clinical and simulation studies examining briefings or debriefings of resuscitation team performance have shown improved knowledge or skills.812. Rapid and effective response and performance are critical to good newborn outcomes. The most important priority for newborn survival is the establishment of adequate lung inflation and ventilation after birth. Epinephrine (adrenaline) is the only medication recommended by the International Liaison Committee On Resuscitation (ILCOR) during resuscitation in newborns with persistent bradycardia or . Tactile stimulation is reasonable in newborns with ineffective respiratory effort, but should be limited to drying the infant and rubbing the back and the soles of the feet. High-quality observational studies of large populations may also add to the evidence. minutes, and 80% at 5 minutes of life. Recommendation-specific text clarifies the rationale and key study data supporting the recommendations. Neonatal resuscitation program Your team is resuscitating a newborn whose heart rate remains less than 60 bpm despite effective PPV and 60 seconds of chest compressions. Peak inflation pressures of up to 30 cm H2O in term newborns and 20 to 25 cm H2O in preterm newborns are usually sufficient to inflate the lungs.57,9,1114 In some cases, however, higher inflation pressures are required.5,710 Peak inflation pressures or tidal volumes greater than what is required to increase heart rate and achieve chest expansion should be avoided.24,2628, The lungs of sick or preterm infants tend to collapse because of immaturity and surfactant deficiency.15 PEEP provides low-pressure inflation of the lungs during expiration. 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. Teams and individuals who provide neonatal resuscitation are faced with many challenges with respect to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to perform effectively. The science of neonatal resuscitation applies to newly born infants transitioning from the fluid-filled environment of the womb to the air-filled environment of the birthing room and to newborns in the days after birth. Finally, we wish to reinforce the importance of addressing the values and preferences of our key stakeholders, the families and teams who are involved in the process of resuscitation. Intravenous epinephrine is preferred because. If heart rate after birth remains at less than 60/min despite adequate ventilation for at least 30 s, initiating chest compressions is reasonable. Resuscitation of an infant with respiratory depression (term and preterm) in the delivery room (Figure 1) focuses on airway, breathing, circulation, and medications. The decision to continue or discontinue resuscitative efforts should be individualized and should be considered at about 20 minutes after birth. Newly born infants who receive prolonged PPV or advanced resuscitation (intubation, chest compressions, or epinephrine) should be maintained in or transferred to an environment where close monitoring can be provided. For this reason, neonatal resuscitation should begin with PPV rather than with chest compressions.2,3 Delays in initiating ventilatory support in newly born infants increase the risk of death.1, The adequacy of ventilation is measured by a rise in heart rate and, less reliably, chest expansion. While the science and practices surrounding monitoring and other aspects of neonatal resuscitation continue to evolve, the development of skills and practice surrounding PPV should be emphasized. While there has been research to study the potential effectiveness of providing longer, sustained inflations, there may be potential harm in providing sustained inflations greater than 10 seconds for preterm newborns. Administer epinephrine, preferably intravenously, if response to chest compressions is poor. It may be reasonable to administer further doses of epinephrine every 3 to 5 min, preferably intravascularly,* if the heart rate remains less than 60/ min. 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. For infants with a heart rate of 60 to < 100 beats/minute who have apnea, gasping, or ineffective respirations, positive pressure ventilation (PPV) using a mask is indicated. When providing chest compressions with the 2 thumbencircling hands technique, the hands encircle the chest while the thumbs depress the sternum.1,2 The 2 thumbencircling hands technique can be performed from the side of the infant or from above the head of the newborn.1 Performing chest compressions with the 2 thumbencircling hands technique from above the head facilitates placement of an umbilical venous catheter. Every healthy newly born baby should have a trained and equipped person assigned to facilitate transition. If resuscitation is required, electrocardiography should be used, especially with chest compressions. Blood may be lost from the placenta into the mothers circulation, from the cord, or from the infant. When the need for resuscitation is not anticipated, delays in assisting a newborn who is not breathing may increase the risk of death.1,5,13 Therefore, every birth should be attended by at least 1 person whose primary responsibility is the newborn and who is trained to begin PPV without delay.24, A risk assessment tool that evaluates risk factors present during pregnancy and labor can identify newborns likely to require advanced resuscitation; in these cases, a team with more advanced skills should be mobilized and present at delivery.5,7 In the absence of risk stratification, up to half of babies requiring PPV may not be identified before delivery.6,13, A standardized equipment checklist is a comprehensive list of critical supplies and equipment needed in a given clinical setting. 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. In a randomized trial, the use of mask CPAP compared with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in spontaneously breathing preterm infants decreased the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death, and decreased the use of surfactant, but increased the rate of pneumothorax. diabetes. Tactile stimulation should be limited to drying an infant and rubbing the back and soles of the feet.21,22 There may be some benefit from repeated tactile stimulation in preterm babies during or after providing PPV, but this requires further study.23 If, at initial assessment, there is visible fluid obstructing the airway or a concern about obstructed breathing, the mouth and nose may be suctioned. 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. This can usually be achieved with a peak inflation pressure of 20 to 25 cm water (H. In newly born infants receiving PPV, it may be reasonable to provide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). 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. A multicenter, case-control study identified 10 perinatal risk factors that predict the need for advanced neonatal resuscitation. Three out of seven (43%) and 12/15 (80%) lambs achieved ROSC after the rst dose of epinephrine with 1-mL and 2.5-mL ush respectively (p = 0.08). All Rights Reserved. Metrics. Prevention of hyperthermia (temperature greater than 38C) is reasonable due to an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Short, frequent practice (booster training) has been shown to improve neonatal resuscitation outcomes.5 Educational programs and perinatal facilities should develop strategies to ensure that individual and team training is frequent enough to sustain knowledge and skills. 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. Most changes are related to program administration and course facilitation. The 2 thumbencircling hands technique achieved greater depth, less fatigue, and less variability with each compression compared with the 2-finger technique. If the heart rate is less than 100 bpm and/or the infant has apnea or gasping respiration, positive pressure ventilation (PPV) via face mask is initiated with 21 percent oxygen (room air) or blended oxygen, and the pulse oximeter probe is applied to the right hand/wrist to monitor heart rate and oxygen saturation.5,6 The heart rate is reassessed after 30 seconds, and if it is less than 100 bpm, PPV is optimized to ensure adequate ventilation, and heart rate is checked again in 30 seconds.57 If the heart rate is less than 60 bpm after 30 seconds of effective PPV, chest compressions are started with continued PPV with 100 percent oxygen (3:1 ratio of compressions to ventilation; 90 compressions and 30 breaths per minute) for 45 to 60 seconds.57 If the heart rate continues to be less than 60 bpm despite adequate ventilation and chest compressions, epinephrine is administered via umbilical venous catheter (or less optimally via endotracheal tube).57, Depending on the skill of the resuscitator, the infant can be intubated and PPV delivered via endotracheal tube if chest compressions are needed or if bag and mask ventilation is prolonged or ineffective (with no chest rise).5 Heart rate, respiratory effort, and color are reassessed and verbalized every 30 seconds as PPV and chest compressions are performed. Animal studies in newborn mammals show that heart rate decreases during asphyxia. Both hands encircling chest Thumbs side by side or overlapping on lower half of . 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. Target Oxygen Saturation Table Initial oxygen concentration for PPV 1 min 60%-65% 2 min 65%-70% 3 min 70%-75% 4 min 75%-80% 5 min 80%-85% 10 min 85%-95% 35 weeks' GA 21% oxygen Three different types of evidence reviews (systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and evidence updates) were used in the 2020 process. In preterm birth, there are also potential advantages from delaying cord clamping. Rescuer 2 verbalizes the need for chest compressions.
