CPAP is helpful for preterm infants with breathing difficulty after birth or after resuscitation33 and may reduce the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very preterm infants when compared with endotracheal ventilation.3436 CPAP is also a less invasive form of respiratory support than intubation and PPV are. Admission temperature should be routinely recorded. Stimulation may be provided to facilitate respiratory effort. For every 30 seconds that ventilation is delayed, the risk of prolonged admission or death increases by 16%. 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. It may be reasonable to provide volume expansion with normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) or blood at 10 to 20 mL/kg. Ventilation of the lungs results in a rapid increase in heart rate. Exhaled carbon dioxide detectors can be used to confirm endotracheal tube placement in an infant. If there is a heart rate response: Continue uninterrupted ventilation until the infant begins to breathe adequately and the heart rate is above 100 min-1. Reduce the inflation pressure if the chest is moving well. 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. In preterm infants, delaying clamping reduces the need for vasopressors or transfusions. Numerous nonrandomized quality improvement (very low to low certainty) studies support the use of warming adjunct bundles.. Adaptive trials, comparative effectiveness designs, and those using cluster randomization may be suitable for some questions, such as the best approach for MSAF in nonvigorous infants. 1-800-242-8721 There is no evidence from randomized trials to support the use of volume resuscitation at delivery. Intraosseous needles are reasonable, but local complications have been reported. With secondary apnea, the heart rate continues to drop, and blood pressure decreases as well. Among the most important changes are to not intervene with endotracheal suctioning in vigorous infants born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (although endotracheal suctioning may be appropriate in nonvigorous infants); to provide positive pressure ventilation with one of three devices when necessary; to begin resuscitation of term infants using room air or blended oxygen; and to have a pulse oximeter readily available in the delivery room. Ventilation should be optimized before starting chest compressions, possibly including endotracheal intubation. In small hospitals, a nonphysician neonatal resuscitation team is one way of providing in-house coverage at all hours. For infants requiring PPV at birth, there is currently insufficient evidence to recommend delayed cord clamping versus early cord clamping. 1-800-AHA-USA-1 ** After completing the initial steps of providing warmth, positioning the infant in the sniffing position, clearing the airway and evaluate the infant's response with the following: Neonatal resuscitation teams may therefore benefit from ongoing booster training, briefing, and debriefing. Most newly born infants do not require immediate cord clamping or resuscitation and can be evaluated and monitored during skin-to-skin contact with their mothers 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 . Post-resuscitation care. External validity might be improved by studying the relevant learner or provider populations and by measuring the impact on critical patient and system outcomes rather than limiting study to learner outcomes. Breakdowns in teamwork and communication can lead to perinatal death and injury.15 Team training in simulated resuscitations improves performance and has the potential to improve outcomes.16,17 Ultimately, being able to perform bag and mask ventilation and work in coordination with a team are important for effective neonatal resuscitation. Variables to be considered may include whether the resuscitation was considered optimal, availability of advanced neonatal care (such as therapeutic hypothermia), specific circumstances before delivery, and wishes expressed by the family.3,6, Some babies are so sick or immature at birth that survival is unlikely, even if neonatal resuscitation and intensive care are provided. 3 minuted. The heart rate response to chest compressions and medications should be monitored electrocardiographically. Epinephrine is indicated if the heart rate remains below 60 beats per minute despite 60 seconds of chest compressions and adequate ventilation. Researchers studying these gaps may need to consider innovations in clinical trial design; examples include pragmatic study designs and novel consent processes. The newly born period extends from birth to the end of resuscitation and stabilization in the delivery area. When anticipating a high-risk birth, a preresuscitation team briefing should be completed to identify potential interventions and assign roles and responsibilities. A meta-analysis of 3 RCTs (low certainty of evidence) and a further single RCT suggest that nonvigorous newborns delivered through MSAF have the same outcomes (survival, need for respiratory support, or neurodevelopment) whether they are suctioned before or after the initiation of PPV. When possible, healthy term babies should be managed skin-to-skin with their mothers. To start, 21% to 30% oxygen should be used in these newborns, titrating up based on oxygen saturation. Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is the crystalloid fluid of choice. It is reasonable to perform all resuscitation procedures, including endotracheal intubation, chest compressions, and insertion of intravenous lines with temperature-controlling interventions in place. This content is owned by the AAFP. Before using epinephrine, tell your doctor if any past use of epinephrine injection caused an allergic reaction to get worse. Effective and timely resuscitation at birth could therefore improve neonatal outcomes further. There is a reduction of mortality and no evidence of harm in term infants resuscitated with 21 percent compared with 100 percent oxygen. The importance of skin-to-skin care in healthy babies is reinforced as a means of promoting parental bonding, breast feeding, and normothermia. 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. 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. Naloxone and sodium bicarbonate are rarely needed and are not recommended during neonatal resuscitation. Part 5: neonatal resuscitation: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Title: Microsoft PowerPoint - CPS GR Final Author: JackieM Created Date: 9/10/2021 9:22:37 PM 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. Hypoglycemia is common in infants who have received advanced resuscitation and is associated with poorer outcomes.8 These infants should be monitored for hypoglycemia and treated appropriately. There were only minor changes to the NRP algorithm and recommended practices. Intra-arterial epinephrine is not recommended. In newly born infants who are gasping or apneic within 60 s after birth or who are persistently bradycardic (heart rate less than 100/min) despite appropriate initial actions (including tactile stimulation), PPV should be provided without delay. We thank Dr. Abhrajit Ganguly for assistance in manuscript preparation. Radiant warmers and other warming adjuncts are suggested for babies who require resuscitation at birth, especially very preterm and very low-birth-weight babies. Metrics. 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. Teams and individuals who provide neonatal resuscitation are faced with many challenges with respect to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to perform effectively. Positive pressure ventilation should be provided at 40 to 60 inflations per minute with peak inflation pressures up to 30 cm of water in term newborns and 20 to 25 cm of water in preterm infants. Preterm and term newborns without good muscle tone or without breathing and crying should be brought to the radiant warmer for resuscitation. The guidelines form the basis of the AAP/American Heart Association (AHA) Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), 8th edition, which will be available in June 2021. Oximetry and electrocardiography are important adjuncts in babies requiring resuscitation. NRP courses are moving from the HealthStream platform to RQI. Recent clinical trials have shown that infants resuscitated with 21 percent oxygen compared with 100 percent oxygen had significantly lower mortality (at one week and one month) and were able to establish regular respiration in a shorter time; the rates of encephalopathy and cerebral palsy were similar in the two groups.4549 The 2010 NRP guidelines recommend starting resuscitation of term infants with 21 percent oxygen or blended oxygen and increasing the concentration of oxygen (using an air/oxygen blender) if oxygen saturation (measured using a pulse oximeter) is lower than recommended targets (Figure 1).5 Oxygen concentration should be increased to 100 percent if the heart rate is less than 60 bpm despite effective ventilation, and when chest compressions are necessary.57, If the infant's heart rate is less than 60 bpm, the delivery of PPV is optimized and applied for 30 seconds. If the heart rate is less than 60 bpm, begin chest compressions. Given the evidence for ECG during initial steps of PPV, expert opinion is that ECG should be used when providing chest compressions. Case series show small numbers of intact survivors after 20 minutes of no detectable heart rate. Appropriate resuscitation must be available for each of the more than 4 million infants born annually in the United States. Flush the UVC with normal saline. A systematic review (low to moderate certainty) of 6 RCTs showed that early skin-to-skin contact promotes normothermia in healthy neonates. Multiple clinical and simulation studies examining briefings or debriefings of resuscitation team performance have shown improved knowledge or skills.812. Exhaled carbon dioxide detectors to confirm endotracheal tube placement. Positive-pressure ventilation should be started in newborns who are gasping, apneic, or with a heart rate below 100 beats per minute by 60 seconds of life. 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. 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 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. This link is provided for convenience only and is not an endorsement of either the linked-to entity or any product or service. 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. In a retrospective review, early hypoglycemia was a risk factor for brain injury in infants with acidemia requiring resuscitation. In newly born babies receiving resuscitation, if there is no heart rate and all the steps of resuscitation have been performed, cessation of resuscitation efforts should be discussed with the team and the family. A team or persons trained in neonatal resuscitation should be promptly available to provide resuscitation. Readers are directed to the AHA website for the most recent guidance.12, The following sections briefly describe the process of evidence review and guideline development. For term infants who do not require resuscitation at birth, it may be reasonable to delay cord clamping for longer than 30 seconds. If the heart rate remains less than 60/min despite 60 seconds of chest compressions and adequate PPV, epinephrine should be administered, ideally via the intravenous route. Copyright 2011 by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every birth should be attended by at least 1 person who can perform the initial steps of newborn resuscitation and initiate PPV, and whose only responsibility is the care of the newborn. Hypothermia (temperature less than 36C) should be prevented due to an increased risk of adverse outcomes. These 2020 AHA neonatal resuscitation guidelines are based on the extensive evidence evaluation performed in conjunction with the ILCOR and affiliated ILCOR member councils. Gaps in this domain, whether perceived or real, should be addressed at every stage in our research, educational, and clinical activities. Once the heart rate increases to more than 60 bpm, chest compressions are stopped. Successful neonatal resuscitation efforts depend on critical actions that must occur in rapid succession to maximize the chances of survival. 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. Delaying cord clamping for more than 30 seconds is reasonable for term and preterm infants who do not require resuscitation. The decision to continue or discontinue resuscitative efforts should be individualized and should be considered at about 20 minutes after birth. Each 2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC document was submitted for blinded peer review to 5 subject matter experts nominated by the AHA. 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. See permissionsforcopyrightquestions and/or permission requests. Placing healthy newborn infants who do not require resuscitation skin-to-skin after birth can be effective in improving breastfeeding, temperature control and blood glucose stability. A brief introduction or short synopsis is provided to put the recommendations into context with important background information and overarching management or treatment concepts. It is reasonable to provide PPV at a rate of 40 to 60 inflations per minute. Administer epinephrine, preferably intravenously, if response to chest compressions is poor. 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). Review of the knowledge chunks during this update identified numerous questions and practices for which evidence was weak, uncertain, or absent. Chest compressions are provided if there is a poor heart rate response to ventilation after appropriate ventilation corrective steps, which preferably include endotracheal intubation. The primary goal of neonatal care at birth is to facilitate transition. The use of radiant warmers, plastic bags and wraps (with a cap), increased room temperature, and warmed humidified inspired gases can be effective in preventing hypothermia in preterm babies in the delivery room. 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]). 2020;142(suppl 2):S524S550. Supplemental oxygen should be used judiciously, guided by pulse oximetry. 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.

Most changes are related to program administration and course facilitation. Therapeutic hypothermia is recommended in infants born at 36 weeks' gestation or later with evolving moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Ventilation should be optimized before starting chest compressions, with endotracheal intubation if possible. Very low-quality evidence from 8 nonrandomized studies. Optimal PEEP has not been determined, because all human studies used a PEEP level of 5 cm H2O.1822, It is reasonable to initiate PPV at a rate of 40 to 60/min to newly born infants who have ineffective breathing, are apneic, or are persistently bradycardic (heart rate less than 100/min) despite appropriate initial actions (including tactile stimulation).1, To match the natural breathing pattern of both term and preterm newborns, the inspiratory time while delivering PPV should be 1 second or less. Other important goals include establishment and maintenance of cardiovascular and temperature stability as well as the promotion of mother-infant bonding and breast feeding, recognizing that healthy babies transition naturally. Team debrieng. 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. For nonvigorous newborns with meconium-stained fluid, endotracheal suctioning is indicated only if obstruction limits positive pressure ventilation, because suctioning does not improve outcomes. For spontaneously breathing preterm infants who require respiratory support immediately after delivery, it is reasonable to use CPAP rather than intubation. 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. 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 Most babies will respond to this intervention. Heart rate assessment is best performed by auscultation. If it is possible to identify such conditions at or before birth, it is reasonable not to initiate resuscitative efforts. Attaches oxygen set at 10-15 lpm. Reviews in 2021 and later will address choice of devices and aids, including those required for ventilation (T-piece, self-inflating bag, flow-inflating bag), ventilation interface (face mask, laryngeal mask), suction (bulb syringe, meconium aspirator), monitoring (respiratory function monitors, heart rate monitoring, near infrared spectroscopy), feedback, and documentation. Depth is correct. HR below 60/min? The practice test consists of 10 multiple-choice questions that adhere to the latest ILCOR standards. Birth Antenatal counseling Team briefing and equipment check Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm. 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. Routine oral, nasal, oropharyngeal, or endotracheal suctioning of newly born babies is not recommended. 5 minutec. When epinephrine is required, multiple doses are commonly needed. The heart rate should be re-checked after 1 minute of giving compressions and ventilations. According to the recommendations, suctioning is only necessary if the airway appears obstructed by fluid. In preterm newly born infants, the routine use of sustained inflations to initiate resuscitation is potentially harmful and should not be performed. A newly born infant in shock from blood loss may respond poorly to the initial resuscitative efforts of ventilation, chest compressions, and/or epinephrine. See Part 2: Evidence Evaluation and Guidelines Development for more details on this process.11. When the heart rate increases to more than 100 bpm, PPV may be discontinued if there is effective respiratory effort.5 Oxygen is decreased and discontinued once the infant's oxygen saturation meets the targeted levels (Figure 1).5, If there is no heartbeat after 10 minutes of adequate resuscitative efforts, the team can cease further resuscitation.1,5,6 A member of the team should keep the family informed during the resuscitation process. Glucose levels should be monitored as soon as practical after advanced resuscitation, with treatment as indicated. Other recommendations include confirming endotracheal tube placement using an exhaled carbon dioxide detector; using less than 100 percent oxygen and adequate thermal support to resuscitate preterm infants; and using therapeutic hypothermia for infants born at 36 weeks' gestation or later with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. National Center Currently, epinephrine is the only vasoactive drug recommended by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) for neonates who remain severely bradycardic (heart rate <. What is true about a pneumothorax in the newborn? For term and preterm infants who require resuscitation at birth, there is insufficient evidence to recommend early cord clamping versus delayed cord clamping. 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. For newborns who are breathing, continuous positive airway pressure can help with labored breathing or persistent cyanosis. Various combinations of warming strategies (or bundles) may be reasonable to prevent hypothermia in very preterm babies. After birth, the baby should be dried and placed directly skin-to-skin with attention to warm coverings and maintenance of normal temperature. The effect of briefing and debriefing on longer-term and critical outcomes remains uncertain. This article has been copublished in Pediatrics. High-quality observational studies of large populations may also add to the evidence. A large observational study showed that most nonvigorous newly born infants respond to stimulation and PPV. If all these steps of resuscitation are effectively completed and there is no heart rate response by 20 minutes, redirection of care should be discussed with the team and family. 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. (if you are using the 0.1 mg/kg dose.) Immediate, unlimited access to all AFP content, Immediate, unlimited access to this issue's content. Available for purchase at https://shop.aap.org/textbook-of-neonatal-resuscitation-8th-edition-paperback/ (NOTE: This book features a full text reading experience. 8. These guidelines apply primarily to the newly born baby who is transitioning from the fluid-filled womb to the air-filled room. NRP Advanced is suited for health care professionals who serve as members of the resuscitation team in the delivery room or in other settings where complex neonatal resuscitation is required. 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. If a baby does not begin breathing . Babies who are breathing well and/or crying are cared for skin-to-skin with their mothers and should not need interventions such as routine tactile stimulation or suctioning, even if the amniotic fluid is meconium stained.7,19 Avoiding unnecessary suctioning helps prevent the risk of induced bradycardia as a result of suctioning of the airway. If a newborn's heart rate remains less than 60 bpm after PPV and chest compressions, you should NOT Just far enough to get blood return You catheterize the umbilical vein. When do chest compressions stop NRP? Consequently, all newly born babies should be attended to by at least 1 person skilled and equipped to provide PPV. A new Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) program for NRP focused on PPV will be . The American Heart Association released minor updates to neonatal resuscitation recommendations with only minor changes to the previous algorithm (Figure 1). 1 Exhaled carbon dioxide detection is the recommended method of confirming endotracheal intubation. Uncrossmatched type O, Rh-negative blood (or crossmatched, if immediately available) is preferred when blood loss is substantial.4,5 An initial volume of 10 mL/kg over 5 to 10 minutes may be reasonable and may be repeated if there is inadequate response. Please contact the American Heart Association at ECCEditorial@heart.org or 1-214-706-1886 to request a long description of . This guideline affirms the previous recommendations. During resuscitation, a baby is responding to positive-pressure ventilation with a rapidly increasing heart rate. 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. In a small number of newborns (n=2) with indwelling catheters, the 2 thumbencircling hands technique generated higher systolic and mean blood pressures compared with the 2-finger technique. The temperature of newly born babies should be maintained between 36.5C and 37.5C after birth through admission and stabilization. Together with other professional societies, the AHA has provided interim guidance for basic and advanced life support in adults, children, and neonates with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Watch a recording of Innov8te NRP: An Introduction to the NRP 8th Edition: Three webinars hosted by RQI Partners to discuss changes to the 8 th edition NRP and the new RQI for NRP Posted 2/19/21. Breathing is stimulated by gently rubbing the infant's back. In addition, some conditions are so severe that the burdens of the illness and treatment greatly outweigh the likelihood of survival or a healthy outcome. In a randomized controlled simulation study, medical students who underwent booster training retained improved neonatal intubation skills over a 6-week period compared with medical students who did not receive booster training.
