The transition from fetal to newborn life at birth represents a major physiological challenge for newborn infants. The infant must aerate its lungs so that pulmonary gas exchange can commence and the infant’s cardiovascular system must undergo major structural changes to transform it into the adult phenotype. However, approximately 10% of newborn infants, particularly those that are born very preterm, are unable to make this transition without considerable assistance. The first minutes of life are a valuable window for intervention and new approaches to provide a more gentle transition are being studied. The tools used during newborn resuscitation are generally rudi…

Sherry E. Courtney, MD, MS, will present this free educational webinar on October 30, 11:00, AM EST. AARC credit and certificates of completion will be offered. Here is a brief synopsis: In the NICU, a neonate’s status can change quickly. Fluctuations in CO2, regardless of the cause, can result in rapid, severe, and sometimes permanent developmental and pulmonary handicaps. Yet, considering the ease with which CO2 can be monitored continuously and transcutaneously, it is startling how few NICU’s rely on continuous monitoring. Continuous transcutaneous monitoring provides a steady flow of information of vital importance to clinical decisions. Transcutaneous monitoring…
