Reduce the inflation pressure if the chest is moving well. Two randomized trials and 1 quasi-randomized trial (very low quality) including 312 infants compared PPV with a T-piece (with PEEP) versus a self-inflating bag (no PEEP) and reported similar rates of death and chronic lung disease. 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. 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. If the heart rate remains less than 60/min despite 30 seconds of adequate PPV, chest compressions should be provided. Admission temperature should be routinely recorded. You have administered epinephrine intravenously. Copyright 2023 American Academy of Family Physicians. The current guideline, therefore, concludes with a summary of current gaps in neonatal research and some potential strategies to address these gaps. It is reasonable to perform all resuscitation procedures, including endotracheal intubation, chest compressions, and insertion of intravenous lines with temperature-controlling interventions in place. Epinephrine (adrenaline) is the only medication recommended by the International Liaison Committee On Resuscitation (ILCOR) during resuscitation in newborns with persistent bradycardia or . When blood loss is known or suspected based on history and examination, and there is no response to epinephrine, volume expansion is indicated. For neonatal resuscitation providers, it may be reasonable to brief before delivery and debrief after neonatal resuscitation. 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. Early cord clamping (within 30 seconds) may interfere with healthy transition because it leaves fetal blood in the placenta rather than filling the newborns circulating volume. If you have a certificate code, then you can manually verify a certificate by entering the code here. During resuscitation, supplemental oxygen may be provided to prevent harm from inadequate oxygen supply to tissues (hypoxemia).4 However, overexposure to oxygen (hyperoxia) may be associated with harm.5, Term and late preterm newborns have lower shortterm mortality when respiratory support during resuscitation is started with 21% oxygen (air) versus 100% oxygen.1 No difference was found in neurodevelopmental outcome of survivors.1 During resuscitation, pulse oximetry may be used to monitor oxygen saturation levels found in healthy term infants after vaginal birth at sea level.3, In more preterm newborns, there were no differences in mortality or other important outcomes when respiratory support was started with low (50% or less) versus high (greater than 50%) oxygen concentrations.2 Given the potential for harm from hyperoxia, it may be reasonable to start with 21% to 30% oxygen. The goal should be to achieve oxygen saturation targets shown in Figure 1.5,6, When chest compressions are indicated, it is recommended to use a 3:1 ratio of compressions to ventilation.57, Chest compressions in infants should be delivered by using two thumbs, with the fingers encircling the chest and supporting the back, and should be centered over the lower one-third of the sternum.5,6, If the infant's heart rate is less than 60 bpm after adequate ventilation and chest compressions, epinephrine at 0.01 to 0.03 mg per kg (1:10,000 solution) should be given intravenously. 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. After 30 seconds, Rescuer 2 evaluates heart rate. In a retrospective study, volume infusion was given more often for slow response of bradycardia to resuscitation than for overt hypovolemia. The 2 thumbencircling hands technique achieved greater depth, less fatigue, and less variability with each compression compared with the 2-finger technique. A brief introduction or short synopsis is provided to put the recommendations into context with important background information and overarching management or treatment concepts. Each 2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC document was submitted for blinded peer review to 5 subject matter experts nominated by the AHA. The intravenous dose of epinephrine is 0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg, followed by a normal saline flush.4 If umbilical venous access has not yet been obtained, epinephrine may be given by the endotracheal route in a dose of 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg. The heart rate is reassessed,6 and if it continues to be less than 60 bpm, synchronized chest compressions and PPV are initiated in a 3:1 ratio (three compressions and one PPV).5,6 Chest compressions can be done using two thumbs, with fingers encircling the chest and supporting the back (preferred), or using two fingers, with a second hand supporting the back.5,6 Compressions should be delivered to the lower one-third of the sternum to a depth of approximately one-third of the anteroposterior diameter.5,6 The heart rate is reassessed at 45- to 60-second intervals, and chest compressions are stopped once the heart rate exceeds 60 bpm.5,6, Epinephrine is indicated if the infant's heart rate continues to be less than 60 bpm after 30 seconds of adequate PPV with 100 percent oxygen and chest compressions. Before giving PPV, the airway should be cleared by gently suctioning the mouth first and then the nose with a bulb syringe. Term newborns with good muscle tone who are breathing or crying should be brought to their mother's chest routinely. Although this flush volume may . 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. 0.5 mL 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. Outside the delivery room, or if intravenous access is not feasible, the intraosseous route may be a reasonable alternative, determined by the local availability of equipment, training, and experience. Endotracheal suctioning for apparent airway obstruction with MSAF is based on expert opinion. In preterm infants younger than 30 weeks' gestation, continuous positive airway pressure instead of intubation reduces bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death with a number needed to treat of 25. 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.

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. Team briefings promote effective teamwork and communication, and support patient safety.8,1012, During an uncomplicated term or late preterm birth, it may be reasonable to defer cord clamping until after the infant is placed on the mother and assessed for breathing and activity. However, the concepts in these guidelines may be applied to newborns during the neonatal period (birth to 28 days). You administer 10 mL/kg of normal saline (based on the newborn's estimated weight). The following sections are worth special attention. It is estimated that approximately 10% of newly born infants need help to begin breathing at birth,13 and approximately 1% need intensive resuscitative measures to restore cardiorespiratory function.4,5 The neonatal mortality rate in the United States and Canada has fallen from almost 20 per 1000 live births 6,7 in the 1960s to the current rate of approximately 4 per 1000 live births. Heart rate is assessed initially by auscultation and/or palpation. Positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) remains the main intervention in neonatal resuscitation. 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. One RCT in resource-limited settings found that plastic coverings reduced the incidence of hypothermia, but they were not directly compared with uninterrupted skin-to-skin care. When epinephrine is required, multiple doses are commonly needed. Monday - Friday: 7 a.m. 7 p.m. CT June 2021 The NRP 8th Edition introduces a new educational methodology to better meet the needs of health care professionals who manage the newly born baby. Effective team behaviors, such as anticipation, communication, briefing, equipment checks, and assignment of roles, result in improved team performance and neonatal outcome. NRP courses are moving from the HealthStream platform to RQI. 8 Assessment of Heart Rate During Neonatal Resuscitation 9 Ventilatory Support After Birth: PPV And Continuous Positive Airway Pressure 10 Oxygen Administration 11 Chest Compressions 12 Intravascular Access 13 Medications Epinephrine in Neonatal Resuscitation 14 Volume Replacement 15 Postresuscitation Care During chest compressions, an ECG should be used for the rapid and accurate assessment of heart rate. 2023 American Heart Association, Inc. All rights reserved. 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%). A multicenter quality improvement study demonstrated high staff compliance with the use of a neonatal resuscitation bundle that included briefing and an equipment checklist. Approximately 10% of newborns require assistance to breathe after birth.13,5,13 Newborn resuscitation requires training, preparation, and teamwork. 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. A randomized trial showed that endotracheal suctioning of vigorous. However, it may be reasonable to increase inspired oxygen to 100% if there was no response to PPV with lower concentrations. 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. All Rights Reserved. To perform neonatal resuscitation effectively, individual providers and teams need training in the required knowledge, skills, and behaviors. Establishing ventilation is the most important step to correct low heart rate. There are limited data comparing the different approaches to heart rate assessment during neonatal resuscitation on other neonatal outcomes. The current guidelines have focused on clinical activities described in the resuscitation algorithm, rather than on the most appropriate devices for each step. 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. Most changes are related to program administration and course facilitation. 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. In a randomized trial, the use of sodium bicarbonate in the delivery room did not improve survival or neurologic outcome. 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 heart rate should be re-checked after 1 minute of giving compressions and ventilations. 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. Electrocardiography detects the heart rate faster and more accurately than a pulse oximeter. 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. Metrics. One observational study compared neonatal outcomes before (historical cohort) and after implementation of ECG monitoring in the delivery room. Because evidence and guidance are evolving with the COVID-19 situation, this interim guidance is maintained separately from the ECC guidelines. 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. ECG provides the most rapid and accurate measurement of the newborns heart rate at birth and during resuscitation. minutes, and 80% at 5 minutes of life. Successful neonatal resuscitation efforts depend on critical actions that must occur in rapid succession to maximize the chances of survival. 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. 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. The American Heart Association released minor updates to neonatal resuscitation recommendations with only minor changes to the previous algorithm (Figure 1). 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. Most RCTs in well-resourced settings would routinely manage at-risk babies under a radiant warmer. Intrapartum suctioning is not recommended in infants born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid. The heart rate should be re-checked after 1 minute of giving compressions and ventilations. High oxygen concentrations are recommended during chest compressions based on expert opinion. 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. There should be ongoing evaluation of the baby for normal respiratory transition. While this research has led to substantial improvements in the Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm, it has also highlighted that we still have more to learn to optimize resuscitation for both preterm and term infants. 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. Epinephrine use in the delivery room for resuscitation of the newborn is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The practice test consists of 10 multiple-choice questions that adhere to the latest ILCOR standards. For infants born at less than 28 wk of gestation, cord milking is not recommended. Endotracheal suctioning may be useful in nonvigorous infants with respiratory depression born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid. Infants with unintentional hypothermia (temperature less than 36C) immediately after stabilization should be rewarmed to avoid complications associated with low body temperature (including increased mortality, brain injury, hypoglycemia, and respiratory distress). Epinephrine is indicated if the heart rate remains below 60 beats per minute despite 60 seconds of chest compressions and adequate ventilation. 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. Copyright 2023 American Academy of Family Physicians. 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.

If epinephrine is administered via endotracheal tube, a dose of 0.05 to 0.1 mg per kg (1:10,000 solution) is needed.1,2,57, Early volume expansion with crystalloid (10 mL per kg) or red blood cells is indicated for blood loss when the heart rate does not increase with resuscitation.5,6, Use of naloxone is not recommended as part of initial resuscitation of infants with respiratory depression in the delivery room.1,2,5,6, Very rarely, sodium bicarbonate may be useful after resuscitation.6, Term or near term infants with evolving moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy should be offered therapeutic hypothermia.57, Intravenous glucose infusion should be started soon after resuscitation to avoid hypoglycemia.5,6, It is recommended to cover preterm infants less than 28 weeks' gestation in polyethylene wrap after birth and place them under a radiant warmer. Oximetry and electrocardiography are important adjuncts in babies requiring resuscitation. monitored. Circulation. After chest compressions are performed for at least 2 minutes When an alternative airway is inserted Immediately after epinephrine is administered The airway is cleared (if necessary), and the infant is dried. If endotracheal epinephrine is given before vascular access is available and response is inadequate, it may be reasonable to give an intravascular* dose as soon as access is obtained, regardless of the interval.

The effect of briefing and debriefing on longer-term and critical outcomes remains uncertain. Applying Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence to Clinical Strategies, Interventions, Treatments, or Diagnostic Testing in Patient Many current recommendations are based on weak evidence with a lack of well-designed human studies. What is true about a pneumothorax in the newborn? 1 minuteb. 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. Epinephrine is indicated if the infant's heart rate continues to be less than 60 bpm after 30 seconds of adequate PPV with 100 percent oxygen and chest compressions. In newborns born before 35 weeks' gestation, oxygen concentrations above 50% are no more effective than lower concentrations. For term infants who do not require resuscitation at birth, it may be reasonable to delay cord clamping for longer than 30 seconds. In a case series, endotracheal epinephrine (0.01 mg per kg) was less effective than intravenous epinephrine. Your team is caring for a term newborn whose heart rate is 50 bpm after receiving effective ventilation, chest compressions, and intravenous epinephrine administration. On the other hand, overestimation of heart rate when a newborn is bradycardic may delay necessary interventions. The impact of therapeutic hypothermia on infants less than 36 weeks gestational age with HIE is unclear and is a subject of ongoing research trials. HR below 60/min? - 14446398 Please see updates below from RQI Partners, the company that is providing the NRP Learning Platform TM and RQI for NRP. 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.
