The New NRP Algorithm NRP 2006 Western Canada

The New NRP Algorithm NRP 2006 – Western Canada Launch Vancouver, BC

Objectives n n Show the new 2006 Resuscitation algorithm Discuss the NRP 2006 Initial Steps What has changed since NRP 2000 How specific Canadian Expert Committee recommendations affect the algorithm

Objectives n The Initial Steps n Decide if resuscitation is needed n Provide initial steps of resuscitation n Decide if / when oxygen should be given n Exception to “dry the baby” n Resuscitate a newborn when meconium is present

The Canadian Expert Committee n n National guidelines to neonatal resuscitation across several continents are based on the consensus statements of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Each country is expected to develop guidelines that reflect their own context.

The persistently cyanotic baby

Oxygen administration n n Only central cyanosis requires intervention. Acrocyanosis does not indicate hypoxemia. “If the baby is breathing but appears blue, administration of supplemental oxygen is indicated” at 90 seconds… “Supplemental oxygen also may be needed when respirations are being assisted” at 90 seconds… “There is evidence that resuscitation with air is as effective as with 100% oxygen …”

Resuscitation when meconium present

The Initial Steps Or wet in bag? … at 90 seconds

Preterm < 32 weeks n n Use blended oxygen and air, and a pulse oximeter Begin PPV with Fi. O 2 between 0. 21 and 1. 00. Studies are lacking to be more precise. Adjust Fi. O 2 to achieve Sp. O 2 gradually increasing towards 90%. Decrease the Fi. O 2 as Sp. O 2 rises over 95% If the heart rate does not respond by increasing rapidly to > 100 bpm, correct any ventilation problem and use Fi. O 2 1. 00.

n Should oxygen be administered to babies receiving chest compressions?

Medications NRP 2006 St. John’s - Newfoundland

Medications 2: 1000 newborns

NRP 2006 When to use oxygen: Cyanotic at 90 seconds (supplemental) Receiving chest compressions (100%)

Epinephrine ! “If the heart rate remains below 60 bpm despite administration of ventilation and chest compressions your first action is to ensure that ventilation and chest compressions are being given optimally and that you are using 100% oxygen”

Epinephrine Route n UVC n low position n ETT n Slow absorption → higher dose? n Poor evidence, expert opinion n Intraosseous n Outpatient taught setting; limited data → not

Epinephrine - Administration CPS: n “First dose via ETT while preparing for insertion of UVC” 3 m. L syringe n 1 m. L/kg of 1: 10, 000 epinephrine n n “When given via UVC …” 1 m. L syringe n 0. 1 m. L/kg of 1: 10, 000 epinephrine n Follow with 5 m. L of 0. 9& saline flush n

Epinephrine Administration Shows recommendation in CPS NRP addendum, 2006

Epinephrine Administration Can repeat after 3 -5 minutes

Shock / hypovolemia ! “If the baby appears in shock and is not responding to resuscitation administration of a volume expander may be indicated”

If no improvement
