Infant resuscitation.

چکیده
APPROXIMATELY 6 per cent of the infants born at Sloane Hospital for Women in New York have severe respiratory depression at birth. To treat these babies successfully, everyone in the delivery room should be familiar with sound principles of resuscitation. “Everyone” includes the obstetrician, the anesthesiologist, the pediatrician, the medical students and the obstetric nurses, both graduate and undergraduate. The task of resuscitation should not be assigned to one of these persons or groups. The infant does not “belong” to the obstetrician, the pediatrician or the anesthesiologist. The most experienced available person should manage the severe depression promptly; nowhere is the success of teamwork more evident than in the delivery room.

متن کاملAir or 100% oxygen for asphyxiated babies? Time to decide
Both experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated that room air is as efficient as 100% oxygen for newborn resuscitation and improves short-term recovery.

A significant ...
متن کاملPhysiological responses of the newborn infant to resuscitation.
Lung ventilation, endotracheal, and intraoesophageal pressures were measured during standard resuscitation of 20 asphyxiated babies born by caesarean section.
