)

Patients trust doctors with their lives and health. To justify that trust you
must show respect for human life and you must:

Make the care of your patient your first concern

Protect and promote the health of patients and the
public

Provide a good standard of practice and care

Keep your professional knowledge and skills up to date

Recognize and work within the limits of your competence

Work with colleagues in the ways that best serve

patients' interests
2

Treat patients as individuals and respect their dignity

o

Treat patients politely and considerately

Respect patients' right to confidentiality

Work in partnership with patients

o

Listen to patients and respond to their concerns and

preferences

Give patients the information they want or need in a way

they can understand

Respect patients' right to reach decisions with you about

their treatment and care

Support patients in caring for themselves to improve and

maintain their health

Be honest and open and act with integrity

o

Act without delay if you have good reason to believe that

you or a colleague may be putting patients at risk

Never discriminate unfairly against patients or

colleagues

You are personally accountable for your professional practice and must
always be prepared to justify your decisions and actions.

Name : Mothers name + childs name +

Sex ( male or female ) : medico legal
Residence
Sibling :
- See if precious baby.
- If number of siblings take care of D.M. + Large baby
5) Consanguinity for congenital anomalies
6) C.S. or Vaginal delivery
+ Maternal administration of cortisone if early labor
Vaginal delivery
1- Labor pain
( spontaneous , induced )
2- Obstructed \ difficult labor

C.S.
1-

Why??
e.g.
- Pre-eclampsia
- Heart disease
- D.M.
- Obstruction
- PROM +

 Why we ask about these items?

Obstructed labor ( vaginal ) leads to :
- Caput succedaneum
- Cephalohematoma ( esp. with forceps)
- Cephalohematoma :leads to anemia , Jaundice
- Traumatic cyanosis ( 2-1 )
C.S. liable for respiratory distress as vaginal delivery compress secretions out , So
may find TTN.
Anesthesia in C.S. affect in respiration.
D.M. infant of diabetic mother.
Heart disease congenital heart disease
7) Age of baby :
esp. in Jaundice ,and if it started at 1st day or not
8) Full term or Preterm

- Food
- Ventilation
- Other problems of Preterm
9) Maternal history of :
- D.M. I.D.M.
- HTN ( Pre-eclampsia )
- PROM
(If MAS)
Sepsis 24
Triple antibiotics
N.B. PROM > 3 months lead to creation of stressful environment
around the baby >>>> corticosteroid release & lung maturity

: ----- :
1- Nasal : maximum 2 L \ min
2- CPAP : ---- %
3- IMV ( Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation )
4- A\C ( Assisted ventilation )
5- SIMV ( Synchronized IMV )
- :

N.B. In case of Jaundice, ask about:

- Time of start ,
- Previous J. baby
- Feeding pattern
- Rh + ABO
- Prenatal, natal, Postnatal History
- Family history of hemolysis

Examination
1) General :
1. Look for appearance :
- Large baby IDM
- Small baby IUGR or Preterm
2. Colors :
- Pallor ( in lip , nails esp. if cyanosed as the blue color mask pallor)
- Jaundice ( in the body better than eye )
8

- Cyanosis ( central or peripheral )

- Mottling : poor perfusion in ( anemia , acidosis)
3. Activity :
Activity - poor suckling Sepsis (1st alarm)
Dont judge on baby with IMV because he is sedated
4. weight

2) Head :
1. Shape of head : microcephaly , macrocephaly ( hydrocephalous )
Centile chart
2. Fontanels :
- opened or closed
- Normally: Ant. 2 cm & Post. Closed
- Bulging fontanel : CNS presser esp. if with convulsions
(IC hg, encephalitis, hydrocephalous)
- Depressed : indicate dehydration
3. Face : colors
4. Dysmorphic features : cleft lip or palate
5. Suckling : good or poor

Chest -3
Rate counted / 1 min , as neonate has cyclic respiration Don't count RR after suckling , due to there is some exertion with )
( tachypnea which disappear after few minutes
Symmetry between 2 sides ( no bulging or depression ) 9

Signs & Grades of RD ( I , II , III , IV ) Auscultation : air entry in 2 sides equal or not ( listen at MCL & MAL ) & presence
of additional sounds as Wheezes or Crepitation
Don't forget grunting :- listen to his voice -

Abdomen -4

- After blood or plasma , we need to :
1-Measure blood pressure
2-Give lasix to decrease overload ( 9 + 1 )

N.B.
- Challenge test ( preterm no urine + edema )

22

If patient with no urine :give fluids ( shock therapy or plasma ) then lasix within 20
min then see urine out put :
If +ve pre renal failure ( hypovolemia and so measure the BP )
If ve renal or post renal causes
N.B.- Plasma given if aminonein Is contraindicated esp. if urea & creat
Also if plasma is given stop aminovein for that day.

Transfusion of RBCs & Plasma

Packed Red Blood Cells :

- Indications :
1- Ideal for who requiring red cells not volume .
2- O2 carrying capacity of blood in a cutely in infants with sever RDs & on
IMV .
3- Try to maintain HB > 13 gm \ dl .
4- Cardiac patients ( cyanosis , HF ) .
5- Symptomatic anemia ( tachypnea , apnea , tachycardia , bradycardia ,
feeding , lethargy , pallor ) .
Fresh Frozen Plasma :
- Indications :
1- Replace clotting factors TTT of shock .
2- Dilutional exchange transfusion .
3- Sepsis DIC .
4- Premature .
5- Sever RD , coagulation disorders .
No cross matching or ABO compatibility is needed for the plasma.
Both warmed to 37oc before transfusion , But by blood warmers not direct heat to
avoid Agglutination .

Feeding

Types of feeding :
1) Enteral nutrition :
- Breast feeding
- Bottle feeding
- Tube feeding ( Gavage feeding )
2) Parental feeding
Enteral nutrition :
- Types of milk :
1) Breast milk
2) Expressed breast milk
3) Standard formula
4) Premature formula
5) Special formula :
- low phenylalanine ,
- low phosphate ,
- S26AR
N.B. Calories :
-To maintain weight & essential body functions , The baby needs 50 60 Kcal \ kg \
day.
-To induce weight gain .
Full term give 100 120 Kcal \ kg \ day , Preterm give 110 140 Kcal \ kg \
day .
-Formulas :
ordinary 100 cc 67 Kcal

Premature 100 cc 81 Kcal .

-To calculate total daily calories :

Kcal \ kg \ day =
25

 When to start enteral feeding :

1- if baby has good suckling with no history of excessive oral secretions .
2- not distended soft abdomen with normal sounds .
3- RR < 60 br \ min for oral feeding & < 90 br \ min for Gavage (Ryle)
feeding.
4- For premature infants :
- Feeding should be initiated as soon as clinically possible .
- Early entered feeding is associated with better endocrinal adaptation ,
enhanced immune functions & earlies discharge .
- Feeding is started in 1st 3 days of life , aiming for full entered feeding in
2-3 weeks .
- For stable , larger premature infants > 1500 gm , the 1st feeding may
be given within the 1st 24 hrs of the life , early feeding may allow the
release of enteric hormones which exert trophic effect on intestine .
5- For sick infants of any birth weight , usually have concomitant ileus , So
start only if :
-

The babys condition is improving .

They dont have abdominal distention .
They passed meconium .
They have normal bowel sounds .

6- Prescience of umbilical catheter is not an absolute contraindication for

feeding .
When not to give Enteral feeding :
1- When gastric aspirate every 4 hrs is more than the milk given .
2- If there are signs of intestinal obstruction .
3- If feeding triggers apneic attacks .
4- In the acute phase of any illness , the 1st 24-48 hours , or while bowel
sounds are absent .
5- In babies with NEC .
6- In 12 hr post extubation .
7- In babies with repeated convulsions ( aspiration ) .
8- During exchange transfusion .

26

 Babies at risk of developing feeding difficulties :

Warning sign
Excessive mucus , frothy secretion or
history of maternal poly hydramonus
Distended abdomen
RD , rapid breathing or depressed
activity
Premature infants < 32-34 wk may
able to suck , swallow & breath , but
usually cant co-ordinate these
activities
Vomiting of green material or
persistent vomiting or spitting
No meconium by 48 hr of age
Babies who required prolonged
resuscitation
Excessive gagging , irritation &
secretion due to NG tube
Regurgitation , vomiting &
Abdominal Distention
Excessive gastric residual

Action
Dont feed till you pass a tube into the
baby stomach to exclude esophageal
atresia .
Insert NG or OG tube & withdrawal air /
fluid to decompress the babies stomach ,
dont feed till rule out obstruction Or
illus .
Dont feed by bottle nor allow breast
feeding until RR is about ??? & the baby
can co-ordinate suckling , swallowing ,
breathing .
Feed by NG or OG or IVF till tube feeding
can be administrated .
Stop feeding & obtain Abdominal X-ray to
evaluate for possible I.O.
Stop feeding until you evaluate for
obstruction .
Keep NPO till baby is stable for 24-48 hr
till bowel sounds appear to avoid NEC &
renal pr. .
Remove NG tube , give bolus feeds by OG
tube .
Suspect sepsis . NEC or intestinal
obstruction .
Decrease the volume of next feed &
more gradual , use jejunal route
Tube feeding : NG or OG

When are tube feeding required :

1- Preterm babes < 32 34 W. gestation.
Some babes are able to do sucking , swallowing, breathing & gagging but
coordination between these activities may be deficient
2- Infants weighting < 1.4 KG ( poor suckling )

27

3- For certain sick babes : > 34 W with certain conditions that prevent them from
being fed safety with nipple :
* Severe neurological problems : with absent gag reflex
* Babies who tires easily from exertion from nipple feeding
4- Babes recovering from RD but still tachypneic ( RR > 60 Br. / Min. )

When to stop tube feeding :

1 when they are no longer needed :
-

The infant developed gag reflex & can coordinate suckling , swallowing &
breathing
- No respiratory problems
2- when they are not tolerated : significant residual volume is found consistently
before each feeding or if bile appears in residual stop tube feeding start IVF and
investigate the case
3 if respiratory distress is increased : RR > 90 Br. / Min.
Complications
1- Malposition : tube to airway
2- Over & under feeding
3- Perforation of esophagus , stomach or ulcer at mucosa

3 MIXED RESPIRATORY AND METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
** alkalosis is uncommon and usually is iatrogenic
NB : higher PH limits is desirable in the prescence of
hyperbilirubinemia since
acidosis esp. respiratory may potentiate encephalopathy .
4) COMPLICATION OF MARKED ACIDOSIS :
1 increase pulmonary vascular resistance .
2 inhibition of surfactant synthesis .
52

3 impaired myocardial contractility

1 - hypoxia
2 shock and hypoperfusion
( sepsis,HF ,NEC)
3 inborn error of metabolism

- Asphyxia
- Apnea

As bicarb is acalculated data ( there is no electrode that measure
bicarb but the computer calculate it from PCO2 , PH
PH PCO2 ,

9 ) MANAGEMENT :
1 RESP. ACIDOSIS
If unventilated

ventilated

mostly due to Respiratory

failure
Intubate and ventilate or
CPAP

Causes >> ETT block , ETT dislodged ,

pneumothorax
- Reintubate
suction and aspirate - increase rate & decrease time

2 METABLOIC ACIDOSIS
Correct bicarb
( criteria )

give more antibiotics

for (sepsis )

if failed
ventilation

3 MIXED CASES
1 don't give bicarb ist as it will give co2 inside the body(practically we give
it together with increasing co2 wash)
2 correct resp. acidosis 1st by increasing vent . rate
3 then give bicarb
54

4 also decrease inspiratory time if good expansion to increase expiratory

time to wash co2

10 ) HOW TO CORRECT HCO3 :

A EMERGENCY CORRECTION : ( if there is no ABG )
In case of acetotic breathing ( rapid deep ) give :
bicarb + % 5
B - USUAL CORRECTION :
half correction kidney total
severe + sepsis

So we give :

body wt (kg ) base deficit .3

2

30 15 % 5 +
N.B maximum dose : 10 Na bicarb
2 10 ....

- Some give maintenance of bicarb is 1 ml / kg / dose/12 h slow IV

but it isn't
preferred

11) INFORMATION ABOUT BICARBONATE

- Na bicarb 8.4 % conc. Per ampule
- Dilute 1:1 with glucose 5% not Ringer lactate
- Bicarb should be given very slowly to prevent rapid increase of osmolarity which
may lead to IV hge .
- Bicarb should be given in good acting peripheral vein ( irritant )
55

- Never infuse Ca with it to prevent form of ( Ca Carbonate )

- Don't dilute with saline ( increase sodium level and increase osmolarity )
12) ANION GAP :
Def :- The amount of uncalculated cations which if added to
calculated cations can conteract anions

(Na + K ) ( Cl + HCO3 )
It is arrange between 8 : 16 mEq/l

Important in cases of metabolic acidosis

metabolic acidosis With normal
anion gap

Metabolic acidosis With

increased gap

-- Cause :- loss of alkali

-- E,g :- diarrhea
- RTA
-- Not corrected by HCO3

-- Cause :- increased acids

-- E.g :- RF
DKA
-- Corrected by HCO3

13) EXCESS HEPARIN may give false metabolic acidosis

Repeat test if the result is suspicious
Extreme hypothermia lead to false increase PO2
Extreme hyperthermia lead to false decrease PO2
NB :- Sample of ABG should taken arterial , but some take it
venous ,
so PO2 isn't important finding in the report to judge
NB :- Ringrer lactate

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS

- Respiratory problems are the commonest cause of serious

neonatal illness of death
GRADES :
) Grade 1 : tachypnea ( RR 60 Br / min
Grade 2 : retraction + grade 1
Grade 3 : grunting + grade 2
Grade 4 : cyanosis + grade 3

61

CAUSES :
1) RESPIRATORY : respiratory distress syndrome MAS pneumonia pneumothorax airway obstruction as Bil . choanal atresia - bronchopulmonary
dysplasia
2) CARDIAC : HF PDA PP HTN
3) CENTRAL : HIE IC Hge meningitis
4) HEMATOLOGICAL : severe anemia polycythemia
5) OTHERS : sepsis hypoglycemia metabolic acidosis - hyper / hypothermia
D hernia
APROACH TO DIAGNOSE :
A ) HISTORY :
1)PRENATAL : any disease of the mother befor birth leading to hypoxia ,
Maternal
drugs , previous baby with RD
2) NATAL : PROM fetal distress obstructed labor AF (meconium staining )
3) POSTNATAL : APGAR resuscitation time of RD TTT Given
B) EXAMINATION :
1) Grades
2) chest auscultation
Grades :
Grade 1 : tachypnea 60 Br / min
Grade 2 :retractions ( interscostal subcostal suprasternal )nasal flaring which
represent attempt to decrease airway resistance(air hunger)+ pursing of lips

Grade 3 : GRUNTING :- ( better by stethoscope )

>> Forced expiration against closed glottis .
Why ? to produce +ve end expiratory pressure (PEEP) that keep
the small airway opened and improve distribution of ventilation .
Grade 4 : CYANOSIS . IMV or ambu + mask or ETT
1st you should know if central >> lips , tongue , mucus membrane
Or peripheral (acrocyanosis) >> hands , feet
Also see pallor >>>> shock anemia HF V.C
Examination >>> abd chest Heart genitalia

Respiratory disress syndrome (HMD)

- Common disease caused by surfactant deficiency
- CAUSES :
1- prematurity especially 32 wk
3- IDM

2 prenatal asphaxia
4 C.S

- Decrease INCIDENCE nowadays due to : 1 prenatal steroids

2 surfactant injection by ETT
- DIAGNOSIS :
History : as usual esp . prematurity DM C.S acute partum hge male sex
CP : RD . Rate 60 retraction cyanosis within 1st 4hours after birth and
progress over 1st 48 96 hrs of life then begin to resolve spontaneously apnea from 2nd day
EXAMINATION :
RDS grades , Breath sounds decrease bilaterally + crepitation , Pallor +
edema
INVESTIGATION :
1) XRAY : grades :Grade 1 :fine reticulogranules mottling + good lung exp.
Grade 2 : mottling ( ground glass app ) + air bronchogram
Grade 3 : diffuse mottling and increase air bronchogram
Grade 4 : white lung

NB:- white lung >>is a term in CXR >>it indicates RDS in PT

(preterm) ,
If it's found in a full term suspect congenital
pneumonia
2) ABG

3) RBS

4) CBC CRP CULTURE SEPSIS WORK UP

5) ECHO
PDA
- PROBLEMS AND HOW TO MANAGE :
1) HYPOXIA : ( PAO2 normally 70% ) by ABG
- Keep SPO2 bet. 90 95 % by oximeter
- Use head box or nasal ( grade 1 2 )
- CPAP in grade 3 ( also if PAO2 60% OR in apnea )
- If grade 4 >> IMV
2) HYPERCAPNIA AND RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS :
- CO2 is more diffusible than O2 so hypoxia appear before hypercapnea
- PACO2 is normally bet ( 35-45)
- So do : good suction.. do ABG and manage( If PCO2 reach 60
IMV)
** Specific therapy to HMD :
- Surfactant injection but expensive
- Prophylactic CPAP has arole here ??!
- IMV
early intubation leads to early extubation
Indication :
- PH 7.2
PCO2 60
PO2 50
- sitting :- FiO2 90 , VR 40-60 , time 0.36 , PIP 20 : 22 , PEEP 3-4 ,
Flow 8-10 L/m2 (( decreased Inspiratory time + increased VR to
manage respiratory acidosis ))
3) FLUIDS & ELECTROLYTES : do 20 % rest as increased fluids >>
pulmonary edema
- hypoglycemia
bolus Dextrose 10%
4 ml / kg then
maintince 6mg/ kg / min
4) FEEDING
5) CIRCULATION
inotropics blood plasma
6) INFECTION
AB
7) TEMPERATURE
8) APNEA esp . on prematures and on 2nd day
9) IC Hge
10) NURSING
11) MONITORING

Broncho-pulmonary dysplasia ( BPD )

64

Def. :
is a neonatal form of chronic pulmonary disorders that that follows a primary
course of respiratory failure ,
e.g. RDs - MAS in the 1st day of life .
also defined as persistence O2 dependency up to 28 days .
Incidence :
is more in ELBW infant < 1000 gm

1234-

Risk factors and causes :

IMV , volutrauma / barotrauma
Inflammation
Prolonged O2 exposure 150 < hr by > 60 %
Prematurity , white race , males , tracheal colonization with ureaplasma ,
ELBW , sepsis .
Pathology :
O2 proliferation of type II alveolar cells and fibroblast alternation in
surfactant system increase inflammatory cells , cytokines & collagen .
C\P :
- Infant with progressive deterioration in pulmonary function , requiring
IMV beyond 1st week of life , poor growth , pulmonary edema , apnea ,
bradycardia
- Examination : retractions , rules ??? , wheezes , hepatomegaly .
- Investigation :
1- ABG & electrolytes .
2- Urine analysis .
3- CXR : diffuse haziness , lung hypoinflation, streaky markings , patchy
atelectasis , intermingled with cystic area , may lung hyperinflation .
4- Renal U\S , Echo .
Management :
The most effective solution is prevention of BPD by :
1- TTT of prematurity , RDs , antenatal steroid .
2- Decreases risk factors by O2 exposure , early surfactant + early CPAP
and avoid IMV .
3- Vit A .
4- Caffie - nitric oxide?
Treatment :
65

1- Respiratory support : maintain supplied O2 bet. 90% to 99% .

2- Improve lung functions :
- Fluid restriction
- diuretics therapy as lasix to decrease pulmonary edema .
- bronchodilator as B2 agonist & theiophyline .
3- corticosteroid as Dexa .
4- Growth & nutrition 120 150 ?? \ day
NB : the most important three lines in ttt of BPD are:
1- steroids
2- aminophyline
3- lasix

Meconium aspiration syndrome

Factors that risk :

1- Amount
2- Thickness
3- Duration
4- Complications
Usually MAS occur in mature baby , if premature suggest listeria infection
or bilious reflex 2ry to intestinal obstruction .
Types of meconium :
1- Thin
2- thick
Complications :
1- Thin meconium aspiration by the baby chemical pneumanitis 2ry
bacterial infection bacterial pneumonia
2- Thick meconium aspiration
- Airway obstruction which may be :
Complete cause lung collapse
Or Partial cause 1 way valve lung hyperinflation air leak &
spontaneous pneumothorax .
- Chemical pneumanitis .
- PPHTN ( persistence pulmonary HTN ) .
Now how to Diagnose :
1- History : obstetric history of meconium stained labor + history of fetal
distress .
66

2- Examination :
- Skin , nail , umbilical cord meconium stained
- Lung over distention + bowing of sternum ( AP diameter )

3- CXR :
- Over expansion multiple atelectesis
- Opacity pneumonia
- Pneumothorax , pneumomediastinum
4- Lab . : ABG
5- Echo : for PPHTN
* Treatment
A) Prophylactic : Better & recommended
When head is delivered and before respiration stimulation
suction of mouth (1st)and nose very well &wrap baby with
heated towel to prevent respiration and intubate &suction of
trachea +O2
B) Curative : TTT of problems

1) Lobar all one lobe ( homogenous )
2) Bronchial pneumonia patchy opacities
NB : TTT of collapse >> good physiotherapy &
NB: follow up of pneumonia by CXR & auscultation

Pulmonary hemorrhage ( P.Hge )

P.Hge is a very serious sign that have very poor prognosis , So the
best management for P.Hge is PREVENT its occur .
Def. :
Gross bloody secretions are seen in the ETT ,
It occurs most commonly in acutely in infants on mechanical ventilation
between 2-4 days of age .
C\P :
The infant has sudden deterioration in respiratory status , suddenly becomes
hypoxic , sever retractions , pallor , shock , apnea , bradycardia , cyanosis .
72

 Causes :
Hypoxia & trauma are the main causes
1- Usually direct trauma to the air way with intubation or vigorous suctioning ,
esp. if the suction catheter is out the ETT .
2- Also with coagulopathy ( DIC ) & bleeding from other areas is present .
3- Babies with large amount of blood transfusion ( over transfusion ) lead to
increase pulmonary capillary pressure , So P.Hge .
4- Congenital HF , pulmonary edema accompanies PDA .
5- RDs esp. after surfactant injections .
Management :
Again PREVENTION is the rule , how :
- The most common cause is delayed management of hypoxia esp. in premature
babies , So acidosis & prematurity lead to Hge .
- The aim is to correct hypoxia & acidosis from early by doing :
ABG & see if need to IMV , TTT of acidosis / CBC , CPR , Hct , coagulation
profile , PT , PTT
N.B:- CXR Hge may be focal ( focal , linear , nodular
densities ) or
Massive ( complete white out ) & also
may be clear .
- Auscultation tight chest .
Treatment :
I.
Emergency measures :
1- Suction the air way till bleeding subsides
2- O2 concentration
3- PEEP to 6-8 cm H2O ( tapenade of capillaries )
4- PIP
5- Give epinephrine through ETT (V.C. to pulmonary capillaries )
6- IMV
7- , , ,
8- Shock therapy
II. General measures :
1- Support & correct BP ( shock measures , colloids as plasma )
2- Correct acidosis
3- Blood & plasma \ 12 hr
4- Avoid excessive volume which lead to pulmonary edema
5- ABG
III. Specific measures :
1- If trauma surgery
2- If aspirated maternal blood usually no TTT , self limited
73

3- For coagulopathy HDN : vit K, fresh frozen plasma 10ml\kg\1224 hr , platelets & monitor coagulation profile .
N.B.

HDN ( hemolytic disease of newborn )

Pulmonary hypertension

Old name : Persistence fetal circulation ( but placenta in no more present ) .

During intrauterine life , shutting of blood occur from Rt to Lt through ductus
arteriosus & V.C. of vascular bed ,
After birth , pulmonary vasculature start to open & ductus start to close .
Failure of this changes lead to Pulmonary hypertension .
Causes :
1- 1ry Thick pulmonary capillaries & arterioles with V.C. of ductus
arteriosus in utero , due to maternal ingestions of aspirin or indomethacin or
chronic intrauterine hypoxia or idiopathic .
2- 2ry due to birth asphyxia ( hypoxemia , acidosis ) RDs ( sever ) MAS
sever bacterial pneumonia pneumothorax PDA diaphragmatic hernia
Risk factors :
1- Congenital heart disease e.g. PDA .
2- MAS , HIE ?? , RDs , GBS infection.
3- Maternal Ant PG intake.
4- Maternal Lithium TTT .
Diagnosis :
- History :
1. Term or post term + risk factor .
2. Cyanosis in 1st 12 hrs + respiratory distress is minimal mostly cardiac .
3. Saturation even with ambo , it is slowly .
- Examination :
Cyanosis , tachypnea , RDs sings ( if lung disease ) ,P2 load, Murmur ( TR)
- CXR : cardiomegaly + under lying lung disease if 2ry .
- ABG : hypoxia + acidosis .
- Echo & Doppler : for any congenital anomalies + shunts .
74

 Management : desataturation
1- Ambo bag & see what the baby need , observe rate & pressure till
saturation .
2- O2 demand by control temp. & if no IMV give proper sedation & gentle
handle & suction ( V.C. ) .
3- O2 delivery : see the proper route , up to IMV & FiO2 .
4- Correct acidosis : by Na bicarbonate even you did induced alkalosis ,
it help to oxygenation & PHTN .
5- Restrictions of fluids 30 % .
6- Vasodilator : ( ambo ) .
7- No indomethacin if suspect PDA , till you know is it dependant or not .
8- Inotropes ( Dobutrex ) to C.O.P. + Pulm. V.D. but BP ( it acts mainly
on blood vessels )

Pneumothorax

Def. :
Collection of air within the close cavity ( pleural ) .
Cause :
Rupture in lung tissue that may be spontaneous ,
If it sever may cause shift in heart ( mediastinum area ) .
Risk factors :
1- IMV : esp. in
- preterm(common)
- Assisted ventilation with RDs
- High PIP , longer time
- Slow VR ( rate )
- Baby fight with IMV , So by sedation or ms. Relaxant or shift to
assisted.
2- CPAP also ((6
3- Babies who required resuscitation with bag & mask or ETT(
)
4- Staph pneumonia ( abscess & rupture )
5- Meconium aspiration syndrome or blood or amniotic fluid aspiration , or
any aspirated material that cause ball-valve effect in airway small branches
esp if on IMV .

75

 Complications :
1- Hypoxia
2- Acidosis
3- IV Hge due to decreases VR to the heart from cerebral veins , hypercarbia
and peripheral arterial constrictions .
Diagnosis :
I. History :
- At risk infant .
- Sudden deterioration in the ventilated baby .
- Case of cyanosis improved then deterioration with ambo .
N.B. Pneumothorax is an emergency case that need high level of suspicion
II.

III.

Examination :
- Inspection :
1- Cyanosis ( sudden )
2- R.R. or effort
3- One side become high ( of chest )
4- Abd. Distension ( as diaphragmatic is pushed down )
5- Apnea
- Palpation :
1- Deterioration of general conditions like mottling of the skin , sluggish
peripheral blood flow .
2- Trans illumination test .
3- Low blood pressure ( pressure in major veins prevent venous
return ) .
- Auscultation :
1- Breath sounds are louder over one lung ( not easily detected due to
radiation ) .
2- Shift of the heart beat ( ) and you think it is arrest as you don't
hear heart beats on apex.
3- Tachycardia (heart failure) then Bradycardia then arrest.
CXR :
- AP & Lat. View jet black appearance , shift of mediastinum .
- AP may under estimate the extent of pneumothorax .

76

 Management :
1- Small volume , asymptomatic cases :
Observation & monitoring .
2- Emergency cases like tension pneumothorax :
Air must be aspirated by needle (butterfly) then >>>>chest canula >>>>.if
controlled >>>leave the canula till complete evacuation
-if not improved >>>>chest tube is needed.
3- Symptomatic infant who are in IMV may need chest tube insertion.
NB: pnemothorax is not an absolute indication for mechanical ventilation.

Needle insertion

Needle aspiration for pneumothorax

1.Materials used
Butterfly size 23 or 25
Trifle valve

Chest canula

1.Sterilization first
2.Insert canula in 4th or 5th space MAL or AAL(angle 45) till you
become below ribs then be horizontal thenpush towards same
shoulder under water seal till air appearance
Do not remove it never till x-ray show cure
Important: insertion above lower rib to avoid the (VAN)
After removal sterilize and cover wound
NB:the most sure sign of the corret canula is the oscillation of the
fluid level at the end of the line

Neonatal cyanosis
Def.
- Arterial saturation less than 90% and pao2 less than 60
- bluish app. Of lips and mucosal membranes
- Cyanosis is emergency and need rapid response

Acrocyanosis:
Hands and feets only are blue and is a normal phenomena after
delivery
-Black infant may show lips color that mistakes cyanosis

Central cyanosis :
-site :lips tongue conj. skin- extremities
Pao2 is low Extremities are warm and well perfused-

Peripheral cyanosis :
Site: extremities but tongue-lips-conj. Are pinkPao2 is normal- Extremities are cold poor refill time

How to manage
First see central or peripheral- Causes of central cyanosis(CC):
79

1. Pulmonary causes:CC + Signs of RDS present if :

Obstructive : ETT obstruction Or MAS or chonal atresia
Restrictive : RDS pneumonia
2.Cardiac causes:
- CC + No signs of RDS
- Increase with cry
- no improve with O2:*It may be lesion with increase pulmonary blood flow
TGA-TAPVR-TA
OR
* lesion with decrease pulmonary blood flow TOF- PS
3. Others:
- CNS (apnea)
- polycythemai(viscosity)
- sepsis(acidosis ,hypoxia , hypotension ,VC ,hypoglycemia
>>> cyanosis ,
& hypothermia>>>(lead to acidosis , VC in lung)

What to do ?

1. Give O2 as high aspossible to relieve cyanosis

2. Bag and mask even vent.
3. Attach oximeter to check SPO2
4. If apnea tactile stimulation bag and mask or ETT.
5. If on vent: think first in obstructed and ttt
So suck the tube + auscltate chest +see expansion of chest
or change tube
NB:- How you know that ETT isn't opened ?

- The chance of apnea increased as birth weight decrease
- All prematuraties <1800 gm will have at least one apneic spell
- All babies <1000gm will hame apnea
- Usually begin in 2nd 3rd day if onset in second week think other
cause
- Also if onset in 1st day pathological

Onset of apnea:
- Within hours after brithmaternal drugs asphyxia

5.If brady cardiac massage + PPV + adrenaline
6.Try to know cause by: ABG - RBS BL.PRESSURE (give
inotropes) Temp
CBC - CRP- electrolytes- PDA(exam and murmer)
7.give aminophylline as respiratory stimulant (aminophylline is
theophylline +
ethlendiamine to increase water solubility >>> increase
sensitivity of
respiratory center to increased CO2 tension ) or caffine
cetrate which is better
as it avoids aaythmia caused by aminophyline
8. Inotropics :- It is important to continuously observe baby
esp. premature

Conclusion
Lines of apnea
1. aminophylline
2.caffine cetrate 5mg /kg/dose(9+1) /24 hours (1cm > 20mg
so,after dilution 1cm >2mg )
3.CPAP

- severe RDs in first few hours
- scaphoid abdomen
- inflated chest
- unequal breath sound +intestinal sounds
- x-ray shows gas of stomach and intestine in chest + shift of
heart + small lung

Treatment:
Surgery (emergency) >> ( Pre operative) : - Good oxygenation
- intubation
- Metabolic support
- NG( Ryle)
- Arterial catheter for
ABG

NB: Do gastric decompression by Ryle /// Not inflate by ambu and

mask as by this action , You will inflate stomach & intestine
&compress chest more and more

Jaundice ( )

1-Bilirubin::
-Formed from hemoglobin due to red cell breakdown
-2 forms> Direct(conjugated) ,Indirect(un conjugated)
-Bounded to albumin (Indirect) conjugated in liver (direct) &
excreted in stool
-measured by mg/dl or M mol/l & (mg/dl X 17.1= m mol/l)
-indirect is orange yellow & direct is greenish yellow.
-in dark babies >>press your finger on skin & observe

2- Why bilirubin is dangerous??

-can stain the brain if inexcess amount or if no sufficient albumin
so free bilirubin forms pass BBB . Also if baby is severly
distressed(acidosis, hypoxia, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, PT) BBB
disturbed &even bounded bilirubin can pass.

3- Factors increase the risk of hyperbilirubinemia:

1) Prematurity:due to immature liver , low serum albumin ,
stress so liable to
Kerinctrous at lower levels.
2) Hemolysis: due to Rh or ABO incompitability or drugs or sepsis
3) Free fatty acids: if malnourished, cold, hypoglycemia.
4) Drugs: cefriaxone, gentamicin, Lasix, digoxin, aminophylline,
indomethacine,
valum, salfa, salicylate
94

4- Causes of hyperbilirubinemia::
a-Physiological jaundice
b-hemolytic states: Indirect+ anemia
-Isoimmune; Rh , ABO
-Congenital hemolytic anemia: G6PD, Thalassemia,
spherocytosis
-Hematoma, excess brusies, polycythemia
c-Mixed hemolytic &hepatotoxic states: increase direct &
indirect bilirubin.
As bacterial infection, TORCH, Drugs, vit K deficiency
d-Hepatocellular damage: Both direct(>20% of Total) +indirect
, like biliary
atresia , galactosemia, hepatitis
e-Uncertain mechanism: breast milk jaundice, racial

2- Prolonged jaundice :
Def. : apparent jaundice for 10 days after birth in full term baby & for 2 weeks
in preterm baby .
Cause : breast milk jaundice is the commonest & non specific hepatitis in
VLBW
Other causes : sepsis ( UTI ) hypothyroidism inspissated bile syndrome
( very high unconjugated bilirubin followed by conj. ) delayed passage of
stool pyloric stenosis obstructed jaundice syndrome .
3- Breast milk jaundice :
Usually at day 4 , bilirubin fall but here it continues to rise up to 20 mg\dl at 10
14 day of age .
If breast feeding is continued , the level stay elevated then fall slowly .
If breast feeding stopped , bilirubin level fall rapidly within 48 hr & when
breast feeding resumed the level rises again but not the previous high level .

Recurrence is common in next pregnancy 70 %
Can lead to kernicterus .
Unknown cause but some say pregnandiol in milk suppress conjugated enzyme
4- Breast feeding jaundice :
Infants who are breast feed have higher bilirubin level compared to formula
feed infants .
Cause : intake of milk enterohepatic circulation
Cholostrum constipation enterohepatic circulation

5- Inspissated bile syndrome :

Persistence icterus in association. With significance elevation in direct &
indirect bilirubin in infant with hemolytic disease
cause unknown but jaundice spontaneously in weeks or months .
6- Jaundice with G6PD
7- ABO incompatibility :

97

 It is an iso immune hemolysis occur with blood type A or B infants born to

type O mother , transplacental transport of maternal iso antibodies ( of the IgG
type ) , results in an immune reaction with the A or B antigen of fetal
erythrocytes , which produces ch.ch. micro spherocytes .
Risk factors :
A1 ( type A has A1 & A2 ) antepartum intestinal parasitic infections 3rd
trimester immunization with tetanus toxiod or pneumococcal vaccine .
Jaundice appear in 1st 24 hr with rapid increase of the indirect element , anemia
is not sever due to effective compensation by reticulocytosis .
Diagnosis : blood group of the mother & baby , Rh retics, direct Combs test ,
blood smear for spherocytes , total serum bilirubin .
Phototherapy : is the usual TTT ( if exchange transfusion )
8- Rh incompatibility :
In Rh ve mother ( sensitized to Rh +ve ) & Rh +ve baby
Prophylaxis by ( Rho GAM )
Risk factors : not in the 1st pregnancy unless previously sensitized ,
fetomaternal hge , male > female , C.S. , trauma .
If accompanied with ABO incompatibility , the risk of Rh incompatibility will
decrease due to rapid immune clearance of the fetal blood cells after entry to
mother .
C\P : jaundice + anemia in 1st 24 hr + or HSM
Inv. : blood group & Rh of infant & mother , retics , direct Combs test , TSB ,
DSB , RBS .
TTT
9- Emergency management of sever erythroplastosis
( hydrops fetalis ) :
Most of infant are delivered by C.S.
Resuscitation may need intubation , aspiration of pleural or peritoneal effusion.
UMC ( umbilical vein cath. ) check Hb & bilirubin Combs test - transfer to
NICU .
Mechanical ventilation if RD , HF , pulmonary hypoplasia
Early exchange transfusion .
May need digitalis , diuretics .
Clotting screen after 1 hr from combination of ex. transfusion .
10- Kernicterus ( apnea & convulsion ) :
Def. : it is a pathological diagnosis describing by yellow staining of the basal
ganglia due to high level of free bilirubin or due to increase permeability of the
brain , esp. seen in preterm babies .
98

 Cells of basal ganglia in the midbrain are metabolic active & receive the largest
blood flow .
It is risk with immaturity , rapidly raising bilirubin , low albumin , hypoxia ,
acidosis , sepsis , hypoglycemia .
C\P : initially , infant has non sp. Signs of like poor suck , lethargy of
hypotonia + high jaundice & within hours , it progresses to fever , hypertonia
of extensor ms. Groups leading to opisthotones (trunk & neck arching) ,also
convulsions may be +ve
If left un treated : fetal or sever brain damage can occur
Preterm infant may develop apnea with tone .
Immediate exchange transfusion better proceeded by albumin transfusion ,
should be done .
11- Indirect hyperbilirubinemia ( cong. ) :
Def. : if direct bilirubin > 20 % of total or > 2 mg\dl , A persistence or
elevated direct bilirubin is always pathological & must be evaluated & a value
> 5 mg\dl is consider sever case .
Causes :
Idiopathic neonatal hepatitis , the most common (by exclusion).
Biliry atresia : 2nd common cause , need surgery otherwise LCF
TPN ( unknown mechanism ) if > 2 w esp. in preterm infant .
Sepsis or UTI
Intrauterine infections ( TORCH )
Inspissated bile syndrome
Choledocal cyst ,

antitrypsin

Galactosemia
Inv. : liver functions CBC urine & blood culture reties Coombs test
TORCH screen U\S for liver & biliary tract liver biopsy radionuclide

Phototherapy

Used for indirect hyperbilirubinemia not the direct .

-

lamps have wavelength between 425 475 nm .

- there is no benefit from ordinary fluorescent lamps .

- light produced well convert indirect to non harmful
substance .
- double photo is used in high level .
- contraindicated in porphyria .

Types of phototherapy :
1- Conventional
2- Prophylactic : in VLBW , cephalohematoma , polycythemia .
3- Intensive photo :
102

- Put lamps within 15-20 cm of infant

- number of lamps
- May use phototherapy blankets under the infant

Procedure ( single or double ) :

- Distance : 35-50 cm , and if baby inside incubator put 5-8
cm distance between lamps & incubator .
- Baby undressed except napkin area & eyes .
- Turn baby every 2 hr to surface area .
- Temp. follow up regularly ( heat , loose stool ,
dehydration ) .
- Clean baby only by water , no oil or creams .
- Weight baby daily .
- 10-20 % add to fluids .
- Dont judge by skin color any more .
- Check bilirubin every 12-24 hr up to 48 hr .
- Remove photo when bilirubin became < 7-10 mg\dl .
- Then follow up bilirubin 24 hr after TTT for rebound
hyperbilirubinemia .
- Good feeding .

Bli-bild device
Advan :- more exposure ( increase surface area )
Disadvantage :- hypothermia >> poor suckling

Problems :
1- transit time diarrhea .
103

2- Dehydration .
3- Hyperthermia .
4- Rash examine regularly .
5- Eye problems if exposed so turn off

6- Bronze baby syndrome if used in direct bilirubin .
7- Genital problems if exposed .
8- Anxiety to parents .

Other N.Bs in Jaundice

Indirect bilirubin : fat soluble , carried on albumin , not excreted by kidney but
pass BBB & cause kernicterus .
Direct bilirubin : water soluble , excreted in bile & kidney , not pass BBB but
its underlying cause is dangerous .
Indirect hyperbilirubinemia may lead to direct one by inspissated bile
syndrome .
Rate of rise in pathological jaundice > 5 mg \ dl \ day
If childe on curve need exchange , we may try intensive photo
( 45cm 25cm ) .

111

Indications
1.IMV
2.tracheal suction
3.In CPR

Procedure
1.position : slight extension
2.use laryngoscope (check light)
3.when you insert , you will find darkness , so pull it backwards till you find
epiglottis
4.push it forward till you find vocal cords (moving)
5.insert the tube but avoid forced insertion

Fixation
1.if oral >>> 6 cm +wt
2.if nasal (not used) >>> 7 cm +wt

N.B
You should use ambo first to improve saturation and also for suction

Confirmation of position
1.you can see water vapour with breath
2.auscultation: by ambo better on rt axilla and left axilla and both sides
of chest and if air entry
is heard equally or not (you may find right side more , so pull the tube
above and hear again)
112

3.symmetrical chest inflation

4.no gastric distention with breath

Complication
1.obstructed ETT by secretions or kinking:will find cyanosis , desaturation
and by
auscultation , you will find diminished Sounds and decreased chest
inflation ,so change
the tube or make suction
2.infection
3.injury to vocal cords and esophageus
4.pneumothorax if there is increase in PV or in case of right side intubation
5.bradycardia due to hypoxia or vagal stimulation
6.hypoxia

Hyperglycemia

-Definition:- blood glucose >150 mg/dl (>8mmol/L )

-Complication:
1-if blood glucose >a80 mg / dl >>>osmotic diuresis ,
dehydration ,acidosis
2-if serum osmolality >300mosm /L>>> cerebral He
113

N.B:
-serum osmolality=2 (Na by mmol/L+K by m mol/L)+urea by m mol
L+glucose by mmol/L
-Urea (mg/ dl)/ 6 =m mol/L
-glucose(mg/dl) / 18 ==m mol /L

- Causes:
1-iatrogenic ( TPN )
2-prematurity & ELBW ( due to decreased glucose utilization )
3-sepsis: stress asphyxia intracranial Hge
4-drug as steroid , theophyllin
5-neonatal DM
6-ingestion of hyperosmolar formula

- Diagnosis:
*monitoring for high risk
*N.B: don't take sample from vein where i.v line is present with
glucose infusion
- TTT:
A-Prevention :-

ELBW < 1gh >>> give D 5 or 7.5 not 10 % in

first few days

B- Curative : ( don't stop solutions , but You can decrease rate )

1-reduce the concentration of glucose >> 10 - 5 - 7.5 ( that if in
the first few days )
2

- :

- if no response & > 180 mg/dl >>>

114

give glucose ( 5-7.5-10) : saline or ringer lactate

4
+

1cm Kcl every 100 cm or 1 cc/kg/day

+

monitoring every 30 min

- if no response >>>

1:1

4:1

-if no response or still RBS > 250 or GI ration reached 4 with

no Response
give insulin:

-Rules to give insulin :

1- regular insulin
2-maintain glucose infusion to avoid abrupt change in glucose
3- measure RBS every 15 min
Methods:
A-Bolus:
- 0.1 or 0.2 unit / kg / 6 hrs IV or sc /6 hrs or 12 hrs
But this may lead to rapid drop in glucose >>>brain damage
( disadvantage )
B- infusion: 0.01:0.1 u/kg/hr
NB:10ml>>>>100u
Another rough method :infuse 5+50cm saline at arate of (the child
weight/hour)

N.B: DKA >>>> 50 marks of insulin + 50 cm normal saline
NB:
115

-HYPOGLYCEMIA is more dangerous than hyperglycemia

- don't elevate blood glucose by D 25 as it increase the osmolarity
and cause brain damage
-to infuse concentrated glucose . 12.5 % need central line as if in
peripheral line >>>tissue damage
- IV glucose terminated gradually to avoid rebound hypoglycemia
- if RBS ,25 correct it 1st before feeding as may aspirate ( no
coordination )

--How to give 4-8 mg/ kg / min:

e.g : 6 in 4 kg baby
1- calculate daily need of glucose = 6 x 4 x 60 x 24 = 34.5 gm / day
2- calculate fluid / day e.g 70 ml / kg = 4 x 70 =280
3-see others ( e.g Ca)
>>> N F = 265 ml
4- use diff. conc to reach targets
Remember : D 5% >>> 100 ml contain 5gm ,

D 10 >>>100
ml>>>>10 gm

D25>>>>100ml>>>>>25gm
5- measure concentration of glucose if >12.5>>>>>>>need
central line

Hypoglycemia

-DEFINITION:- GLUCOSE LEVEL < 40 Mg / DL (Recently , < 25 mg )

N.B:- Early detection and TTT is essential otherwise brain damage
may occur
116

-causes:
1- low glucose stores : premature , IUGR , asphyxia , hypothermia ,
meconium
aspiration ,$
2- IDM
3-sepsis
4- others : polycythemia , exchange transfusion ,drugs as
propranolol ,
oral hypoglycemic

-C/P:
1- of cause as sepsis
2- absent c/p
3- non sp : tremors , jitteriness , exaggerated Moro reflex , poor
feeding , irregular respiration , apnea , seizures , cyanosis ,
hypothermia

- TTT:
-most important >>good monitoring in high risk as IDM plan
-start feeding as early as possible

TTT plan

A- Asymptomatic :
glucose < 25 mg / dl

glucose 25-40
117

Give iv D 10%
-loading : 2 ml / kg at rate of 1 ml /
min then infusion(maintenance) at 5
ml / kg / hr
( 4:8 mg /kg / min )
+ Begin feeding + Monitor every
30 min

-early feeding or D 10% as before

B-symptomatic :
without convulsion :

with convulsion:

-give 2 ml D10 % bolus by ml/min

then maintainance by 5 ml /kg / hr
or 6-8 mg/ kg / min

-4 ml D10% bolus then

maintenance with 5 ml / kg / hr or
6-8 mg / kg /min
-Glucagon

Glucose
- RBS > 40 or with no symptoms >> give 2cm/kg/dose of
G
10% or 5 %
- RBS < 40 with symptoms especially convulsions >>> give
4cm/kg/dose

N.B:- Persistent hypoglycemia :

- continue glucose + increase concentration of IV glucose up to
( 12- 16 mg/kg/ min)
+ GI ratio + investigate

118

---- when to give cortisone :

If GI ration reached 12 + no improvement
give 5 mg / kg / day i.v in 2 didided doses

Hypocalcemia

Def:- Serum Ca level < 7 mg / dl ( Most important is level of

ionized Ca )

Causes :
1- early onset ( 1st 3 days ) normal , preterm , IDM , asphyxia
2- late onset (end of week ) :- hypoparathyroidism , vit D deficiency
, RF ,
anticonvulsant in mother
3- others : alkalosis , bicarbonate , exchange transfusion , lasix ,
photo , albumin
rapidly

C/P:- non specific>>>, apnea , seizers , jitteriness , arrhythmia

TTT: measure serum ca / ionized

- start Ca in 1st day in risky patient
- double dose
119

- add Ca to maintenance solution if infant on intra venous

fluids ( Not done )
- most common is Ca gluconate 10 % add 2-5 ml/ kg 1 day to
iv solution
- if there is c/p of it give 1-2 ml ca gluconate diluted 1: 4 in D
5% & Do :1- infuse very slowly
2- auscultate HR if decrease stop the infusion and
continue when HR be
normal & then give maintenance on solution
3- Ca is very irritant so not to be extravasated >>>
tissue necrosis
4- not by UVC >>> hepatic necrosis
5- never with Na bicarb >> Ca carbonate precipitation

NBs from Practice

There are notes I learned from actual practice:

Shift 1

- 11 infant at my 1st shift (3 Vent, 1 Postvent, anemia, jaundice,

pnemothorax,
-frequent sampling is the most common cause of neonatal anemia
-to follow up jaundice : ask TSB/ DSB every other day.
-anemic baby better to be fed by Ryle even suckling is good as it is
effort for him

132

-baby who give residual digested >> give it to him & see how
much( < or> 10%) & mange as before
-Brownish secretions from stomach before starting feeding isn't
contraindication for feeding
