Podcast # 370:  Rapid Fire Neonatal Resuscitation
Category: Science & Medicine
Duration: 00:01:57
Publish Date: 2018-08-24 11:00:00
Description:

Author:  Erik Verzemnieks, MD

Educational Pearls:

 

  • In the panic of a precipitous ED delivery, remember: Warm. Dry. Stim.  It will solve most of your problems in most scenarios
  • Start compressions if heart rate is less than 60
  • Put the pulse ox on the right hand - it may make a difference as it is preductal

 

Editor’s note: detecting a heart rate can be tough in a newborn - you can feel the umbilical stump or just listen with your stethoscope
