Provider Adherence to Neonatal Resuscitation Program Recommendations for Coordinated Neonatal Chest Compressions and Ventilations

Hemodynamics and gas exchange during chest compressions in neonatal resuscitation

PURPOSE Current knowledge about pulmonary/systemic hemodynamics and gas exchange during neonatal resuscitation in a model of transitioning fetal circulation with fetal shunts and fluid-filled alveoli is limited. Using a fetal lamb asphyxia model, we sought to determine whether hemodynamic or gas-exchange parameters predicted successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS The umb...

Impact of Video-recorded Debriefing and Neonatal Resuscitation Program Workshops on Short-term Outcomes and Quality of Neonatal Resuscitation

Background: The goal of neonatal resuscitation is to prevent death and further complications, reestablish spontaneous respiration, and achieve sufficient cardiac output. Inappropriate or wrong resuscitation will result in the death of neonates or long-term side effects. The present study was performed to compare the effects of video-recorded debriefing and neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) w...

New neonatal resuscitation program guidelines.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation with chest compressions during sustained inflations: a new technique of neonatal resuscitation that improves recovery and survival in a neonatal porcine model.

BACKGROUND Guidelines on neonatal resuscitation recommend 90 chest compressions (CCs) and 30 manual inflations (3:1) per minute in newborns. The study aimed to determine whether CC s during sustained inflations (SIs) improves the recovery of asphyxiated newborn piglets in comparison with coordinated 3:1 resuscitation. METHODS AND RESULTS Term newborn piglets (n=8/group) were anesthetized, int...

Neonatal Resuscitation Program: first golden minute.

Birth of a newborn baby is a special moment of joy with lot of expectations. However the first minute after birth is full of anxious moments and rapid physiological adjustments. Most babies go through the transition successfully as a matter of routine; 10% however, may need varying degree of assistance. Opportunity lost to provide needed assistance at this time would be a crucial impediment for...
