Description : Check out this medical titled "Asphyxia of the newborn”.

This medical is about asphyxia of the newborn, a condition in which a baby is not able to breathe properly after birth. It is usually caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. The condition can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

There are various causes of newborn asphyxia, including a difficult delivery, placental abruption, umbilical cord prolapse or compression, and infections in the mother. It can also be caused by pre-existing medical conditions in the baby, such as congenital heart disease or respiratory disorders.

Symptoms of asphyxia in a newborn can include low Apgar scores (a quick assessment of the babys physical condition immediately after birth), difficulty breathing, abnormal muscle tone, a weak or absent cry, and blue or pale skin.

Treatment for asphyxia of the newborn typically involves resuscitation efforts such as oxygen therapy, assisted ventilation, and sometimes medications to improve blood flow and heart function. In severe cases, the baby may need to be transferred to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for further treatment and monitoring.

Prevention of asphyxia in newborns is a key priority in obstetric care. Antenatal care, including regular check-ups and monitoring of fetal growth and development, can help detect and manage potential risk factors. Proper management of labor and delivery, including prompt recognition and management of complications, can also help prevent asphyxia in newborns.

Definition WHO: Asphyxia is incapacity of newborn to begin or to support of spontaneous respiration after delivery due to breaching of oxygenation during labor and delivery India: Asphyxia is absent or ineffective respiration of newborn of 1 minute old with Apgar score less than 4
Slide 4-

Definition Great Britain: Asphyxia is critical insufficiency of oxygen in fetus during delivery so severe that leads to development of metabolic acidosis and depression of spontaneous respiration
Slide 5-

Definition Canada: Asphyxia is breach of gas exchange when hypoxia and hypercapnia, and considerable metabolic acidosis occur
Slide 6-

Definition Australia: Asphyxia is a state with mother has complications in perinatal period that decrease provision with oxygen and leads to acidosis functional violation minimum 2 organs due to acts of acute hypoxia
Slide 7-

Definition Ukraine: Asphyxia of newborn as a nosological form is conditioned by causes when fetus out and find (connect) with severe maternal-placental and (or) umbilical flow leads to increasing of oxygen approach to fetus tissue and hypoxia development

Asphyxia Asphyxia: means to be pulse less, but more useful is a definition of impaired or interrupted gas exchange. These situations can take place: a. Intrauterine: the gas exchange depends on the function of placenta, and the blood-flow in the umbilical vessels. b. Intrapartum c. Postnatal: after delivery the gas exchange takes place in the pulmonary vesicles or alveoli and depends on the function of the heart, lungs and brain.
Slide 10-

Causes of Asphyxia Fetal hypoxia: Mother: hypoventilation during anesthesia, cyanotic heart disease, respiratory failure or carbon monoxide poisoning. Low maternal blood pressure as a result of the hypotension that may compression of the vena cava & aorta by the gravid uterus Inadequate relaxation of the uterus to permit placental filling as a result of uterine tetany caused by excessive administration of oxytocin Premature separation of the placenta; placenta previa Impedance to the circulation of blood through the umbilical cord as a result of compression or knotting of the cord Uterine vessel vasoconstriction by cocaine, smoking Placental insufficiency from numerous causes, including gestosis, eclampcia, toxemia, postmaturity Extremes in maternal age (< 20 years or >35 years) Preterm or postterm gestation.
Slide 11-

Causes of Asphyxia Intrapartus asphyxia: More frequently inadequate obstetric aid Using focerps, vacuum extraction, cresteller, cesaring cection Trauma: narrow pelvis, presentation Extremely rapid or prolonged labor Multiple gestation Drags depression of CNS: anaesthesia, sedatics & analgetics Meconium –stained amniotic fluid
Slide 12-

Causes of Asphyxia Postnatal hypoxia: Anemia severe enough to lower the oxygen content of the blood to a critical level due to severe hemorrhage or hemolytic disease Shock severe enough to interfere with the transport of oxygen to vital cells from adrenal hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage severe enough to age, overwhelming infection or massive blood loss A deficit in arterial oxygen saturation resulting from failure to breathe adequately postnatally due to a cerebral defect, narcosis, or injury Failure of oxygenation of an adequate amount of blood resulting from of cyanotic congenital heart disease of deficient pulmonary function

DIAGNOSIS Clinical symptoms Metabolic derangement Renal and/or cardiac failure Assessment of the brain: a.. EEG EEG is useful particulary in the asphyxiated term newborn.Serial recordings are almost necessary. Low voltage. Burst-suppression patterns or electrical inactivity are associated with bad prognosis. Rapid resolution of EEG abnormalities and/or normal interictal EEG are associated with a good prognosis. b. Ultras onography: Ultrasound can be useful in premature newbomsbut is of more limited value in the term newborn. c. Computed tomography: CT is of major value both acutely during theneonatal period and later in childhood. The optimal timing of CT scanning isbetween 2 and 4 days.
Slide 32-

DIAGNOSIS I. Intrauterine assessment A. Ultrasound and Doppler technique: Ultrasound: to measure the growth of the fetus. For this reason it is important have a reliable gestational age. Early during pregnancy an ultrasound will be done to date the fetus. This method safer than common clinical methods. The growth retarded fetus is in a great risk of developing asphyxia. Doppler techniques: to measure the blood flow in the umbilical vessels or aorta. A low flow or decreasing flow indicates a fetus in risk of asphyxia. B.Electrofysiological: Severe pathological fetus heart rate will lead to cessation of the delivery with Caesarean section. Fetal heart rate: Episodes of bradycardia can be dangerous and lead to brain damage. The problem is to do this type of measurement during long periods and on every pregnant woman. II. Extrauterine assessment C. Biochemical - C blood sample drawn from the umbilical artery is an ideal way to evaluate whether an intrapartum asphyxia exist or not. Low pH (< 7, 00) indicates the intrapartum asphyxia. PC02 and P02 will also be deranged as you have a diminished gas exchange. The low pH is the result of an increased level of H+ and lactate.

ABC resuscitation A- Airways (maintenance of passable ness of airway) B- breathing (stimulation of breathing) C- circulation (to support of circulation) D-drug
Slide 36-

ABC resuscitation Step A- immediately after delivery the infant’s head should be placed in a neutral or slightly extended position Rolled towel under the shoulders

And airway established by clearing the mouth, then the nose by rubber bag
Slide 39-

If meconium is present in amniotic fluid, after sucking of mouth and nose we must suck a pharynx by tube after laryngoscopes
Slide 40-

If it is inadequate we must use step B. At first the tactile stimulation should be given to newborn, for example- gentle flicking of the feet or heel
Slide 41-

ABC resuscitation or rubbing of the back
Slide 42-

If these measures are inadequate, mechanical ventilation should be initiated, using mask and bag ventilation
Slide 43-

If ventilation is adequate supplemental oxygen may be given to improve heart rate or skin colour
Slide 44-

If mechanical ventilation does not improve the respiration, heart rate or colour skin, the following step is “C”-circulation. At first the assessment of heart rate is necessary
Slide 45-

If heart rate is less than 60 beats/minute, or between 60 and 80 beats and is not improving, cardiac compression is a lower on/third of sternum Chest compressions with two fingers
Slide 46-

ABC resuscitation Your big fingers must be lie on the sternum, other finder should lie under the back of newborn
Slide 47-

ABC resuscitation If heart rate is less then 80 beats per minute the cardiac compression should be continued. If heart rate is 80 beats per minute or more the cardiac compression should be stop .
Slide 48-

Brain death The clinical diagnosis of brain death is made on the basis of - coma manifested by lack of response to pain, light, or auditory stimulation; - apnea confirmed by documentation of failure to breathe when pCO2 is greater then 60 mm Hg tested by 3 minutes; - absent bulbar movements and brainstem reflexes (including midposition or fully dilated pupils with no response to light or pain and with absent oculocephalic, caloric, corneal, gag, cough, rooting and sucking reflexes, flaccid tone and absence of spontaneous or induced movements (excluding activity mediated at the spinal cord level)
Slide 49-

Different painless is possible
Slide 50-

PROGNOSIS. Prognosis is difficult because of the inability to establish the precise extent and duration of cerebral insult and injury. At the time of delivery low delayed Apgar scores between 0 and 3 at 10, 15 and 20 minutes' of age are associated with significantly increased mortality and morbidity, e.g. cerebral palsy. The single most useful prognostic factor is the severity of the neonatal neurological syndrome.

Birth trauma The term “Birth trauma” is used to denote mechanical and anoxic trauma incurred by the infant during labor and delivery.
Slide 59-

Birth trauma The incidence of B.T. has been estimated at 2 – 7 per 1000 live births. Overall 5 - 8 per 100000 infants die of B.T. and 25 per 100000 die of anoxic injuries. Some injuries may be latent initially but later result in severe illness or squealed
Slide 60-

Birth trauma The process of birth is blend of compressions, contractions, and tractions.
Slide 61-

Birth trauma When fetal size, presentation, or neurological immaturity complicate this event, such intrapartum forces may lead to tissue damage, edema, hemorrhage or fracture in the neonate.
Slide 62-

Birth trauma The use of obstetrical instruments may further amplify the effect of such forces or may induce injury by itself. Although breech presentation carries the greatest risk of injury, delivery by cesarean section does not guaranteed an injury – free infant.

Birth trauma Petechiae and ecchymosis are common manifestation of birth trauma in the newborn. If the etiology is uncertain, studies to rule out coagulation disorders or infections etiology are indicated. This lesions resolve spontaneously within 1 week. Petechiae of the skin of the heard and neck are common. All are probably secondary to a sudden increase in intrathoracic pressure during passage of the chest through the birth canal. Parents should be assured that they are temporary and result of normal hazards of delivery.
Slide 73-

Birth trauma Subcutaneous fat necrosis. Although not detectable et birth this irregularly shaped, hard no pitting, subcutaneous plagues with overlying dusky, red – purple discoloration may by caused by pressure during delivery. They appear during the first 2 weeks of life usually in large babies on the cheeks, arms, back, buttocks end thinks.
Slide 74-

Birth trauma Caput succedaneum is a subcutaneous extraperiosteal fluid collection with poorly defined margins it may extend across the midline over suture lines end is usually associated with heat molding the soft tissue edema will usually resolve over the few days post partum.
Slide 75-

Birth trauma Cephalohematoma is a subperiosteal collection of blood secondary to rupture of the blood vessels between the scull and pereostium, its extent will be delineated by suture lines over days. The extent of hemorrhage may be severe enough to present as anemia and hypotension with secondary hyperbilirubinemia. It may be a focus of infection leading to meningitis, particularly when there is a concominant skull fracture. Skull X-rays should be obtained if there are CNS symptoms, if the hematoma is very large or if the delivery was very difficult. Resolution occurs over 1 to 2 month, occasionally with residual calcification as a thrombus.
Slide 76-

Birth trauma INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGE occur in 20% to more than 40% of infants with birth weight under 1500 gm but is less common among more mature infants. Intracranial hemorrhage may occur in the subdural, subarachnoid, intraventricular or intracerebral regions. Subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage follow head trauma e.g., in breech, difficult and prolonged labor and after forceps delivery. Other forms of intracranial bleeding are associated with immaturity and hypoxia. With better obstetric care intracranial bleeding has become rare.

Outcomes and prognosis Patients with massive bleeding have a poor prognosis. About 10-15% infants may develop post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus and chronic neurological pathology
Slide 86-

Spinal cord Strong traction exerted when the spine is hyper extended or when the direction of pull is lateral, or forceful longitudinal traction on the trunk while the head is still firmly, engaged in the pelvic, especially when combined with flections and torsion of vertical axis, may produce fracture and separation of the vertebra. Tran section of the cord may occurs with or without vertebral fractures

HIE Selective necrosis of the neurons of the deeper cerebral cortical layers is the hallmark of hypoxic injury to the perinatal brain in full-term babies, parasagittal cerebral injury occurs as a result of the generalized reduction in the cerebral blood flow. In preterm babies, the areas of infarction involve the deeper periventricular white matter. Neuronal necrosis may also entail basal ganglia.

Treatment. Prevention of asphyxia remains the most important mode of treatment. Careful monitoring of the fetus during labor and prompt appropriate intervention at the earliest signs of fetal compromise is important in preventing perinatal asphyxia. The rapid responders from anoxia need observation in the nursery for only 12 to 24 hours. These babies become active, and start accepting feeds within a few hours. The slow responders need more aggressive management. Both: hypoxemia and hyperoxemia as well as hypercapnia should be circumvented, since they affect cerebral blood flow. These babies should be kept in ward, with a minimal noise level or in the nursery. Intravenous fluids should be restricted to two-third of the maintenance requirements and blood glucose levels must be maintained at 75-100 mg/dL. Acidosis, hypocalcaemia and hypoglycemia need correction. Seizures should be controlled with phenobarbitone but not in preterm babies who are severely disturbed and in those with decerebration.
