Care of The Newborn 1219399928791425 9

The
1 24 hours
st
of Life
The first 24 hours of life is a very

significant and a highly vulnerable
time due to critical transition from
intrauterine to extrauterine life
Immediate
Care of the
Newborn
• Airway
• Breathing
• Temperature
Airway & Breathing
• Suction gently & quickly
using bulb syringe or
suction catheter
• Starts in the mouth then,
the nose to prevent
aspiration

General Guidelines
• Keep warm during examination
• From general to specific
• Least disturbing first
• Document ALL abnormal findings &
provide nursing care

GENERAL APPEARANCE
Posture
• Full term:
– Symmetric
– Face turned to side
– Flexed extremities
– Hands tightly fisted with thumb
covered by the fingers

Special Concerns
• Asymmetric
– Fractured clavicle or humerus
– Nerve injuries (Erb-Duchenne’s Paralysis)
• Breech Presentation
– Knees and legs straightened or in FROG
position

VITAL SIGNS
TEMPERATURE
• Site: Axillary NOT Rectal
• Duration: 3 mins
• Normal Range: 36.5 – 37.6 C
• Stabilizes within 8-12 hrs
• Monitor q 30 mins until stable for 2 hrs
then q 8 hrs

Heat Loss Mechanisms
• Convection – the flow of
heat from the body
surface to cooler
surrounding air
– Eliminating drafts such
as windows or air con,
reduces convection
• Conduction – the
transfer of body heat to
a cooler solid object in
contact with the baby
– Covering surfaces with a
warmed blanket or towel
helps minimize
conduction heat loss

• Radiation – the transfer
of heat to a cooler object
not in contact with the
baby
– Cold window surface or
air con; moving as far
from the cold surface,
reduces heat loss
• Evaporation – loss of
heat through conversion
of a liquid to a vapor
– From amniotic fluid; NB
should be dried
immediately

Nursing Considerations
• Keep dry and well-wrapped
• Keep away from cold objects or outside
walls
• Perform procedures in warm, padded
surface
• Keep room temperature warm

Pulse
• Awake: 120 – 160 bpm—120 – 140
bpm
• Asleep: 90-110 bpm
• Crying: 180 bpm
• Rhythm: irregular, immaturity of cardiac
regulatory center in the medulla
• Duration: 1 full minute, not crying
• Site: Apical
• Keep warm
• Take HR for 1 full minute
• Listen for murmurs
• Palpate peripheral pulses
• Assess for cyanosis
• Observe for CP distress

Special Concerns
• (+) Prominent radial pulse = CHD
• (-) Femoral pulse = Coarctation of aorta

Respiration
• Characteristics:
Nasal breathers, gentle, quiet, rapid
BUT shallow; may have short periods of
apnea (<15 secs) and irregular without
cyanosis—periodic respirations
• Rate: 30-60 cpm
• Duration: 1 full minute

• Position on side
• Suction PRN
• Observe for respiratory distress
• Administer oxygen via hood PRN and
as prescribed

Silverman-Anderson Index
• Perform to observe for signs of
respiratory distress
– Chest lag
– Retractions
– Nasal flaring
– Expiratory grunting
