This document outlines the key steps in neonatal resuscitation for newborns requiring assistance to begin breathing or transition to life outside the womb. It discusses factors that may increase the need for resuscitation, important equipment, assessing the newborn using the APGAR score, and the steps of providing warmth, clearing the airway, breathing support, and circulation support like chest compressions and medications if needed. Effective resuscitation in the critical first minute after birth can prevent many newborn deaths from asphyxia globally each year.
Presentation on NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program)Moninder Kaur
NRP is neonatal resuscitation program. Approximately 10% of newborns require some assistance to begin breathing at birth. Less than 1% require extensive resuscitative measures. Although the majority of newly born infants do not require intervention to make the transition from intrauterine to extra-uterine life, because of the large total number of births, a sizable number will require some degree of resuscitation.

About 10% of all newborn require some assistance to begin breathing after birth, and 1% require extensive resuscitation efforts. Newborn resuscitation cannot always be anticipated in time to transfer the mother before delivery to a facility with specialized neonatal support. Therefore, every hospital with a delivery suite should have an organized, skilled resuscitation team and appropriate equipments available.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Neonatal Resuscitation
Globally, about 1/4 of all newborn deaths are caused by
asphyxia at birth, which can be prevented by effective and
rapid resuscitation.
Series of actions, used to assist newborns with difficulty
making the physiological ‘transition’ to extra-uterine life
They are emergency procedures to support newborns that
are not breathing, are gasping or have a weak heartbeat at
birth.
About 10% will require some assistance at birth to begin
breathing
4. Factors for neonatal resuscitation
Maternal Fetal
PROM (> 18 hours)
Bleeding in 2nd or 3rd
trimester
PIH
Diabetes mellitus
Maternal pyrexia
Chorioamnionitis
Heavy sedation
Previous fetal or neonatal
death
Multiple gestation
gestation (< 35 wks; >41 wks)
Large for dates
IUGR
Polyhydramnios and
oligohydramnios
Reduced fetal movement before
onset of labour
Congenital abnormalities which
may effect breathing,
cardiovascular function or oth
5. Facilities/Equipments for Neonatal
Resuscitation
The first 60 seconds after delivery is critical
The need for resuscitation is often unexpected, therefore,
one need to have:
A warm labor room with good light sources to assess the
baby
Equipment
Resuscitation bed, over head warmer (infrared heater), towel,
stethoscope, pulse oximeter
An Ambu bag with a baby-sized mask
Clock, Clean ties, Scissors, Clean towels
Suction device with Suction catheter, Bulb syringe
6. Equipment
Resuscitation bed, over head warmer (infrared heater),
towel, stethoscope, pulse oximeter
An Ambu bag with a baby-sized mask
Clock , Clean ties, Scissors, Clean towels
Suction device with Suction catheter, Bulb syringe
Breathing support: Facemask; PPV device, O2 gas
Circulation support: UVC kit, iv kit, io needle,
Drug and fluids: Adrenaline(1;10000/0.1mg/ml), NS,
Blood
8. APGAR SCORE
This is a quick test performed on a baby at 1 and 5 minutes
after birth.
The 1-minute score determines how well the baby tolerated
the birthing process.
The 5-minute score tells the health care provider how well
the baby is doing outside the mother's womb.
In rare cases, the test will be done 10 minutes after birth.
A score of
7 to 10 after five minutes is “reassuring.”
4 to 6 is “moderately abnormal.”
0 to 3 is concerning.
9. APGAR Score
APGAR Score 7-10
Achieved by 90% of neonates
Nothing is required, except
nasal and oral suctioning
drying of the skin
maintenance of normal body temperature.
APGAR Score 4-6
Suffered mild asphyxia just before birth.
-Respond to vigorous stimulation
-Oxygen blown over the face.
10. APGAR Score contd
APGAR Score 3
These Neonates are moderately depressed at birth.
They are usually cyanotic and have poor respiratory efforts.
But they usually respond to BMV, breath, and become pink.
APGAR Score 0-2
These neonates severely asphyxiated and require
immediate resuscitation
11. Anticipation of Resuscitation Need
Anticipation, adequate preparation, accurate
evaluation, and prompt initiation of support are
critical for successful neonatal resuscitation.
At every delivery at least 1 person required
whose primary responsibility is the newly born.
This person must be capable of initiating
resuscitation, including administration of PPV and
chest compressions.
12. “the Golden Minute”
≈60 sec for initial steps, reevaluating, and beginning
ventilation if required.
The decision to progress beyond initial steps is
determined by simultaneous assessment of: ▫
Respirations (apnea, gasping, or labored or unlabored
breathing)
HR (whether < 100/min or > 100/min)
13. Steps in Resuscitation
Infant should receive one or more of the following
action in sequence:
Initial steps in stabilization
Ventilation
Chest compressions
Administration of epinephrine and/or volume
expansion
14. Initial Steps
To provide warmth by placing the baby under a radiant
heat source,
Positioning the head in a “sniffing” position to open
the airway,
Clearing the airway if necessary with a bulb syringe or
suction catheter,
Drying the baby, and
Stimulating respiration.
15.
16. Keeping the baby warm
Immediately after birth, the baby is wrapped in a dry,
warm towel and rubbed gently, to stimulate breathing.
The baby’s back and soles of feet is rubbed gently also
for five seconds to stimulate breathing.
The baby is dried with warmed towels or blankets to
avoid lowering of body heat.
17. Additional warming techniques :
Pre-warming the delivery room to 26°C,
Covering the baby in plastic wrapping (food or
medical grade, heat-resistant plastic)
Placing the baby on an exothermic mattress ,
Placing the baby under radiant heat .
18. Clearing the airway
-Suctioning
Clear the airway by sucking mouth secretions with a
bulb syringe quickly within five seconds.
Suctioning immediately after birth should be reserved
for babies who have obvious obstruction to
spontaneous breathing.
When Amniotic Fluid Is Clear,
Deep Suctioning is avoided
nasopharynx → bradycardia during resuscitation.
Remove thick meconium (if present) using a wide port
tube.
19. Clearing the airway
-Suctioning contd
When Meconium is Present,
Suctioning, Chest physical therapy, and postural
drainage done every 30 min for 2 hrs and hourly
thereafter for the next 6 hrs help remove residual
meconium from the lung.
All neonates born after meconium aspiration should
be observed for 24 hrs
because they can develop Persistent Fetal Circulation
syndrome.
20. Clamping and cutting the cord
If the baby is breathing adequately, then the doctor
will
Keep the baby at the same height as the placenta or
below the placenta until the cord is clamped to
enhance blood transfusion.
Clamp the cord approximately one to three minutes after
birth to minimize anemia (low red blood cells in the
blood).
Return the baby to the mother for skin-to-skin contact
to keep the baby warm.
21. Opening the airway for breathing
If the baby is still not breathing, to open the airways
They will be kept on a flat surface on their back.
Their head will be kept in a neutral position (parallel to
the surface).
A two to three centimeter thick folded towel will be
placed beneath their shoulders.
22. Keeping the baby breathing
If the baby still does not breathe with a low heart rate (less
than 100 beats/minute), then
Place a mask over the baby’s mouth and nose, connecting it
with an Ambu bag.
Provide five inflation breaths by slowly squeezing the bag.
Inspect the baby’s chest movement.
Reassess the inflation and listen to the heart and check
whether the baby is breathing.
Repeat the maneuver if the baby is still not responding
Return the baby to the mother for breastfeeding if the baby
starts breathing.
Monitor the baby further for six hours.
23. Chest compression
Some babies may need chest compressions if the heart
rate is absent or low (less than 60 beats/minute) and
not responding to being resuscitated with an Ambu
bag.
Then the doctor will
Hold the baby’s chest with two hands while placing the
thumbs below the nipples.
Press the baby’s chest with their thumbs quickly.
Another method in smaller babies is using the index
and middle fingers to gentle press over the breastbone.
Make sure there is time for the chest to recoil.
24. Chest compression contd
Provide three chest compressions to one breath with
the help of an attendant.
A 3:1 compression to ventilation ratio is used where
ventilation compromise is the primary cause, but
rescuers should consider using higher ratios (eg, 15:2)
if the arrest is believed to be of cardiac origin.
Continue chest compression until the baby’s heart rate
gets to normal.
Check for responses by listening to the baby's heart
rate every 30 seconds to one minute and see chest
movements with each breath, after each intervention.
25. Chest compression contd
Compressions should be delivered on the lower third
of the sternum to a depth of ≈1/3rd of the AP diameter
of the chest.
indicated when HR < 60/min despite adequate PPV
with O2 for 30 seconds.
Rescuers should ensure that assisted ventilation is
being delivered optimally before starting chest
compressions because ▫
ventilation is the most effective action and
chest compressions are likely to compete with effective
ventilation,
26. RESUSCITATION DRUGS
If the HR remains < 60/min despite adequate
ventilation and chest compressions with100% O2,
adrenaline or volume expansion or both are indicated
IV is the preferred route: UVC is preferable to
intraosseous
Recommended IV dose is 0.01-0.03 mg/kg/dose; rapid
bolus followed by 1ml of 0.9% NS flush
Intratracheal dose is higher(0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg);
1:10,000 (0.1 mg/mL);
Can be repeated every 5 minutes, if HR remains <
60/min.
27. Treatment of Hypovolemia
Best be done with blood and crystalloids
If hypovolemia is suspected at birth, Rhnegative type
O PRBCs should be available in delivery room before
neonate is born.
Crystalloid and blood should be titrated in 10 mL/kg
and given slowly over 10 minutes.
In most cases, <10-20 mL/kg of volume restores mean
arterial pressure to normal.
28. Role of Glucose
Newborns with lower blood glucose levels are at ↑ risk
for brain injury so maintain BGL >2.5 mmol/L.
If the blood glucose concentration is low,
bolus of glucose (0.5 to 1.0 mL/kg of 10% dextrose) and
constant infusion of 5-7 mg/kg/min intravenously is
given .
29. Post-resuscitation Care
Babies who require resuscitation are at risk for
deterioration after their vital signs have returned to
normal.
Once adequate ventilation and circulation have been
established,
the infant should be maintained,
or transferred to an environment where close
monitoring and anticipatory care can be provided.
30. Monitoring required may include:
Oxygen saturation(SpO2)
Heart rate and ECG
Respiratory rate and pattern
Blood glucose measurement
Blood gas analysis
Fluid balance and nutrition
Blood pressure
Temperature
Neurological
31. Discontinuing Resuscitative Efforts
In a newly born baby with no detectable HR,
resuscitation are discontinued if the HR remains
undetectable for 10 min.
Resuscitation efforts beyond 10 min with no HR
should be considered if presumed etiology of the
arrest, gestation of the baby, and the parental desire.
32. When should a doctor stop
resuscitation?
In the majority of cases, the above steps are enough to save
a baby.
Even after this if there is no improvement, infants may
require tracheal intubation
if endotracheal (ET) administration of medications is desired,
congenital diaphragmatic hernia is suspected or
there is a prolonged need for assisted ventilation.
Such measures are only done in a neonatal intensive care
unit (NICU) supervised by an experienced doctor.
Each country's guidelines vary as to when a doctor should
stop resuscitation attempts (from 10 to 20 minutes after
birth).
