IMMEDIATE CARE OF THE NEWBORN
I. Care of the Newborn at the DELIVERY ROOM
>Establish and Maintain AIRWAY (Respiration)
A. Suctioning >Turn the baby’s head to one side.
>Suction gently and quickly (5 to 10 seconds). =bradycardia.

> Suction the MOUTH first before the nose. ASPIRATION.
>REMEMBER: newborns are NASAL BREATHERS.

C. TEMPERATURE REGULATION (THERMOREGULATION)
Maintain appropriate Body Temperature. Chilling will increase the body’s need for O2.
Wrap the newborn immediately
Wrap him warmly
Put him under a droplight

HEAT LOSS IN NEWBORN CONVECTION – flow of heat from body surface
to cooler surroundings RADIATION – transfer of body heat to a cooler
solid object not in contact with the body EVAPORATION – loss of heat through
conversion of a liquid to a vapor CONDUCTION – transfer of body heat to a
cooler solid object in contact with the body

D. APGAR Scoring System – standard tool to evaluate the condition of the neonate
Done twice: 1st minute: to determine general condition
(NEURO/RESPI/CIRCULATORY CHECK) 5th minute: to determine if neonate can
adjust to extracellular life Appearance (color) – least important criteria Pulse rate (most important criteria) Grimace (reflex activity)- irritability Activity (muscle tone) Respiration
*Lowest individual score is 0. *Highest individual score is 2.

I. Physical Assessment1. Vital Signs
Temperature – axillary: 36.5º – 37ºC (97.91-98ºF)/ rectal
Crying may increase body temperature slightly.Radiant warmer will falsely increase axillary temperature.

E. PROPER IDENTIFICATION IS DONE IN THE DR BEFORE BEING BROUGHT TO THE NURSERY.
BEST METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION:
** FOOTPRINTING – MOST RELIABLE
** ID BANDS – ( ANKLE & WRIST) ACCURATE & RACTICAL
** BIRTHMARKS – LESS RELIABLE
![Page 13: Newborn Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546815a8b4af9f2c108b4aa6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
II. Care of the Newborn at the NURSERY
A. Check the ID bands of mother and baby B. THERMOREGULATIONC. BATH – done if infant’s skin temperature
stabilizes at 36.5ºC (98.6ºF); temperature stabilizes 6-8 hours after
birth*VERNIX CASEOSA *USE NON-ALKALINIC SOAP*USE OF ANTISEPTIC SOLUTIONS *WARM WATER
![Page 14: Newborn Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546815a8b4af9f2c108b4aa6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

*Excessive blood loss when cord is cut*Untimely cutting of the cord* Inadequate iron stores-poor maternal
nutrition.*Blood incompatibility

k. SENSESSight – newborns can see at birth, cannot see
objects past the visual midline (not until 6-8 weeks). The visual field is 9 inches.
Hearing – as soon as amniotic fluid has been absorbed, the newborn can already hearTaste – as soon as secretions have been
suctioned, newborns can already tasteSmellSmell – as soon as the nose has been cleared of
mucus and fluid, newborns can smellTouch – the most developed of all the senses

coagulation or Prothrombin time. It takes 24 hrs. for flora to accumulate and
vitamin K to be synthesized

Increased pressure on the left side of the newborn’s heart results in:
>Closure of the foramen ovale>Change of the ductus arteriosus into a mere ligament (ligamentum arteriosum)>Ductus venosus becomes ligamentum venosum
>Atrophy of the umbilical vein and arteries

Within 10 minutes after birth, newborn has establish a good residual volume.
A baby born by CS have more lung fluid at birth as one born vaginally, so they may have more difficulty establishing effective respiration (because of excessive fluid blocks air exchange space)

3 types of stools passed by NB:1. Meconium – greenish-blackish viscous; formed during fetal life from amniotic fluid, intestinal secretions and cells shed from mucosa; should be within 24 hours2. Transitional – passed from 3rd to 10th day•Milk stool•Breast fed infant stool •Bottle fed infant stool

The average newborn voids within 24 hrs after birth
A single voiding in a newborn is only about 15 ml
The daily urinary output for the 1st 1-2 days is about 30-60 ml total.
The 1st voiding may be pink or dusky because of uric acid crystals that were formed in the bladder in utero
