Physiology, Newborn
The physiology of a newborn is unique and complex in that it changes over a period of minutes, hours, days, and months. Once a human reaches adulthood, our physiology typically remains stable and predictable, with any deviation potentially leading to pathology and disease. However, a newborn's rapid and ever-changing physiology is essential in adapting to a world outside the womb. This article ...
A Comprehensive Newborn Examination: Part I. General, Head and Neck
A detailed newborn examination should begin with general observation for normal and dysmorphic features. A term newborn should have pink skin, rest symmetrically with the arms and legs in flexion ...
Fetal presentation before birth
Frank breech. When a baby's feet or buttocks are in place to come out first during birth, it's called a breech presentation. This happens in about 3% to 4% of babies close to the time of birth. The baby shown below is in a frank breech presentation. That's when the knees aren't bent, and the feet are close to the baby's head.
Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, or RDS, is a common cause of respiratory distress in a newborn, presenting within hours after birth, most often immediately after delivery. RDS primarily affects preterm neonates, and infrequently, term infants. The incidence of RDS is inversely proportional to the gestational age of the infant, with more severe disease in the smaller and more premature ...
Newborn Respiratory Distress
Tachypnea is the most common presentation in newborns with respiratory distress. A normal respiratory rate is 40 to 60 respirations per minute. Other signs may include nasal flaring, grunting ...
Assessment of the newborn infant
A newborn should have a thorough evaluation performed within 24 hours of birth to identify any abnormality that would alter the normal newborn course or identify a medical condition that should be addressed (eg, anomalies, birth injuries, jaundice, or cardiopulmonary disorders) [ 1 ]. This assessment includes review of the maternal, family, and ...
Neonatal Sepsis
Neonatal sepsis refers to an infection involving the bloodstream in newborn infants less than 28 days old. It remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates, especially in middle and lower-income countries [1]. Neonatal sepsis is divided into two groups based on the time of presentation after birth: early-onset sepsis (EOS) and late-onset sepsis (LOS).
Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Neonates
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is caused by pulmonary surfactant deficiency, which typically occurs only in neonates born at < 37 weeks gestation; deficiency is worse with increasing prematurity. With surfactant deficiency, alveoli close or fail to open, and the lungs become diffusely atelectatic, triggering inflammation and pulmonary edema.
Newborn health
Newborn health. Overview. More. To ensure every child survives and thrives to reach their full potential, we must focus on improving care around the time of birth and the first week of life. The high rates of preventable death and poor health and well-being of newborns and children under the age of five are indicators of the uneven coverage of ...
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn Clinical Presentation
The maternal history in transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) consists of cesarian delivery without labor or precipitous delivery. Signs of respiratory distress (eg, tachypnea, nasal flaring, grunting, retractions, hypoxia, increased oxygen requirement and cyanosis in extreme cases) become evident shortly after birth. The disorder is indeed ...
Neonatal Jaundice
Clinical Presentation. Colour: All babies should be checked for jaundice with the naked eye in bright, natural light (if possible). Examine the sclera, gums and blanche the skin. Do not rely on your visual inspection to estimate bilirubin levels, only to determine the presence or absence of jaundice. ... Jaundice in newborn babies under 28 days ...
Neonatal Presentations of Metabolic Disorders
Neoreviews (2020) 21 (10): e649-e662. Metabolic disorders in a neonate can present with involvement of any organ system and can be challenging to diagnose. A newborn can present with an acute metabolic crisis such as hyperammonemia or seizures needing immediate management, with a more chronic clinical picture such as cholestatic liver disease ...
Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
Newborn Hyperbilirubinemia Assessment. Phototherapy. This treatment remains the standard of care, most commonly using fluorescent white light. (Blue light, wavelength 425 to 475 nm, is most effective for intensive phototherapy.) Phototherapy is the use of light to photoisomerize unconjugated bilirubin into forms that are more water-soluble and ...
Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn Clinical Presentation
A French midwife was the first to report hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) in a set of twins in 1609. In 1932, Diamond and colleagues described the relationship among fetal hydrops, jaundice, anemia, and erythroblasts in the circulation, a condition later called erythroblastosis fetalis.
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, or PPHN, is a serious breathing problem in newborns. It occurs when your newborn's circulatory system doesn't adapt to breathing outside of your uterus. While in your uterus, the fetus gets oxygen through the umbilical cord and placenta. Very little blood goes to the fetal lungs because the ...
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn
The placenta functions as the primary organ for air exchange in the fetus. The lungs have to rapidly assume this role after birth. Persistent pulmonary hypertension occurs due to failure of normal transition from intrauterine circulation. It is characterized by persistently elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), resulting in decreased pulmonary blood flow (PBF).
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a benign, self-limited condition that can present in infants of any gestational age, shortly after birth. It is caused due to delay in clearance of fetal lung fluid after birth which leads to ineffective gas exchange, respiratory distress, and tachypnea. In the nursery, it often poses a significant, diagnostic dilemma in the care of newborn babies ...
Apgar score: Chart, definition, and what's normal
The Apgar test helps healthcare providers quickly determine whether your newborn might need additional medical assistance. Anesthesiologist Virginia Apgar, M.D. developed this scoring system in 1952, and modern hospitals worldwide still use the Apgar scale to make an immediate assessment of how ready your baby is to meet the world.
Jewish Newborn Ceremonies 101
Jewish Newborn Ceremonies 101. An overview of ceremonies to welcome baby boys and girls. A baby is born or adopted into a Jewish family, and through that, into a covenantal community. From the ancient tradition of circumcision to contemporary, innovative ceremonies, a new Jewish boy or girl becomes a focal point for ritual and celebration.
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
The most common cause of pulmonary hypertension in newborns is persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn ( PPHN ). It occurs in term or late preterms infants, where the fetal shunts persist after birth and fail to close. It falls under group 1.5 of the Dana Point classification system of pulmonary hypertension (2008).
Transient tachypnea of the newborn
Transient tachypnea of the newborn, also known as retained fetal fluid or wet lung disease, presents in the neonate as tachypnea for the first few hours of life, lasting up to one day. The tachypnea usually resolves within 48 hours. ... Clinical presentation. Infants present in respiratory distress, classically with grunting and nasal flaring ...
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)
Practice Essentials. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is defined as the failure of the normal circulatory transition that occurs after birth. It is a syndrome characterized by marked pulmonary hypertension that causes hypoxemia secondary to right-to-left shunting of blood at the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus.
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)
The main feature of PPHN is that not enough oxygen is getting to the heart, brain and other organs. This causes babies to look blue or pale and to have difficulty in breathing. Doctors, nurses and midwives will use oxygen saturation monitoring to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood, expressed as a percentage.
