Also if plasma is given stop aminovein for that day.
- 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 ,

Dehydration
Types of dehydration Therapy :
23
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 =
24
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 .
25
Warning sign Action
Dont feed till you pass a tube into the
Excessive mucus , frothy secretion or
baby stomach to exclude esophageal
history of maternal poly hydramonus
atresia .
Insert NG or OG tube & withdrawal air /
fluid to decompress the babies stomach ,
Distended abdomen
dont feed till rule out obstruction Or illus
.
RD , rapid breathing or depressed Dont feed by bottle nor allow breast
activity feeding until RR is about ??? & the baby
can co-ordinate suckling , swallowing ,
breathing .
Premature infants < 32-34 wk may Feed by NG or OG or IVF till tube feeding
able to suck , swallow & breath , but can be administrated .
usually cant co-ordinate these
activities
Vomiting of green material or Stop feeding & obtain Abdominal X-ray to
persistent vomiting or spitting evaluate for possible I.O.
No meconium by 48 hr of age Stop feeding until you evaluate for
obstruction .
Babies who required prolonged Keep NPO till baby is stable for 24-48 hr
resuscitation till bowel sounds appear to avoid NEC &
renal pr. .
Excessive gagging , irritation & Remove NG tube , give bolus feeds by OG
secretion due to NG tube tube .
Regurgitation , vomiting & Suspect sepsis . NEC or intestinal
Abdominal Distention obstruction .
Excessive gastric residual Decrease the volume of next feed &
more gradual , use jejunal route
Tube feeding : NG or OG
26
* 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. )
- 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.

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS
- Respiratory problems are the commonest cause of serious neonatal illness of death
GRADES :
CAUSES :
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

Broncho-pulmonary dysplasia ( BPD )
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
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?
65
Treatment :
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
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 ) .
66
Now how to Diagnose :
1- History : obstetric history of meconium stained labor + history of fetal
distress .
2- Examination :
- Skin , nail , umbilical cord meconium stained
- Lung over distention + bowing of sternum ( AP diameter )
- Auscultation Ronchi + Crepitation
3- CXR :
- Over expansion multiple atelectesis
- Opacity pneumonia
- Pneumothorax , pneumomediastinum
4- Lab . : ABG
5- Echo : for PPHTN
* Treatment
- humidity
-endotracheal
-start low level fluid 60/kg D10% 1st day & gradually

-It is due to delayed clearance of fetal lung fluid as fetus in intrauterine life lung
filled with AF during normal labor baby is squeezed in birth canal squeeze AF
from lung AF absorbed through lymphatics
-Other names
-Risk factors
-Diagnosis
1- History
- onset of distress( within 1-2 hrs after birth ) -Breech - maternal asthma
after delivery has tachypnea up to 100-120 br/min & last for 1-5 days
2- Examination
-Barrel chest
4- ABG :
-Management
1- Hypoxia : O2 therapy nasal or head box < 60% , CPAP may be needed ,
69
Suction , Change position
2- Fluid , electrolytes feeding :- IVF 1st then ryle then oral , Rest 20% ,
Start feeding when RR < 90 by ryle, then when <60 oral & gradually

NB: IF you find opacity & You aren't sure , confirm by C/P (tachypnea + retraction +
all One lobe ) AS collapse give same appearance on CXR but wz shift to mediastinum
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 .
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
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
3- For coagulopathy HDN : vit K, fresh frozen plasma 10ml\kg\12-
24 hr , platelets & monitor coagulation profile .
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 .
73
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)
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 :
74
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 .
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. 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 .
75
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.
III. CXR :
- AP & Lat. View jet black appearance , shift of mediastinum .
- AP may under estimate the extent of pneumothorax .
IV. ABG :
- PCo2
- PO2 & saturation
- PH
- Mixed respiratory & metabolic acidosis
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.

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 :
95
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 :
7- ABO incompatibility :
96
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 .

1- Feeding ( frequency ) +
2- Abd. Distension
3- Suckling power
4- Hypoactivity >> sleep with no cry
102
:
- TSB , DSB - CBC
It is critical to recognize neonatal seizures & known their etiology & TTT them
urgently .
Complications :
1- The cause is usually serious
2- O2 consumption , So hypoxia & brain injury .
3- Interfere with supportive measurement as ventilation & elimination .
Causes :
1- HIE : the single most common cause ( see later )
2- IChge
3- CNS infection : see later
4- Metabolic as :
- Hypoglycemia
- Hypocalcaemia
- Hypothermia
- Vit B6 ( cortigen B6 )
Exclusion
Convulsion resistance to TTT & TTT by 0.5 cm IM cortigen B6
5- Kernicterus
6- Polycythemia
7- Developmental
8- Drug withdrawal
9- Familial
10- Others like : Fifth day Fits , hydrocephalus
N.B.
it is important to diff. between jitteriness & convulsion ( for jitteriness see IDM ):-
Convulsion
103
Management :
Emergent measures
1- TTT of cause
So inv. ( Ca total ionized , glucose , bilirubin , CRP )
2- Supportive measurement ( ABC ) : O2 , suction , position(see later)
3- Anticonvulsant drug
Significant convulsion
saturation Significant
Drugs :
) (
1- give somonileta 15 mg/kg as (L) & wait 0.5 hour if no Response give another loading
& wait 0.5 hour
6 6 12 12
1- Phenobarbitol ( PB ) =
- Is the 1st line drug & it is sedative
- It is give loading dose of 15 mg \ kg \dose over 10 min.
+ careful monitoring of respiration .
- If initial dose is effective wait for 0.5 hr , the additional dose of
5 mg \kg \ dose can be given every 5 min. till seizures or a total dose
of 40 mg \ kg is reached .
- Then maintenance 5 mg\kg\day is given &started 12 hr after loading dose
2-phenytoin = epanutin
104
- If convulsion persist or total dose of Phenobarbitol ( 40 mg\kg ) is
reached .
- Give loading dose 15 mg \ kg \ dose & monitor cardiac rate & rhythm (
cause cardiac dysfunction ) .
- Maintenance : 5 8 mg \ kg \ day in 2 doses
- Maintenance dose 6
- Withdrawal :
If 5 days free without convulsion
Very slowly withdrawal
After 4 months do EEG , complete neurological examination &
CT .
N.B.
Diagnosis :
The organism may be streptococci ( GBS ) E.coli H.influanza .

NB :- x-ray findings
Sizes
N.B
1. problems with use of smaller tubes than need leads to leakage of air
2.problems with use of larger tubes than need leads to laryngeal odema and injury
109
Indications
1.IMV
2.tracheal suction
3.In CPR
Procedure
3.when you insert , you will find darkness , so pull it backwards till you find epiglottis
Fixation
N.B
You should use ambo first to improve saturation and also for suction
Confirmation of position
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)
110
3.symmetrical chest inflation
Complication
auscultation , you will find diminished Sounds and decreased chest inflation ,so change
2.infection
6.hypoxia
Hyperglycemia
-Complication:
111
N.B:
- Causes:
1-iatrogenic ( TPN )
5-neonatal DM
- Diagnosis:
- TTT:
A-Prevention :- ELBW < 1gh >>> give D 5 or 7.5 not 10 % in first few days
1-reduce the concentration of glucose >> 10 - 5 - 7.5 ( that if in the first few days )
2- :
4 : 1
112
+ 1cm Kcl every 100 cm or 1 cc/kg/day
- if no response >>>
4:1 1:1
-if no response or still RBS > 250 or GI ration reached 4 with no Response
give insulin:
1- regular insulin
Methods:
A-Bolus:
But this may lead to rapid drop in glucose >>>brain damage ( disadvantage )
NB:10ml>>>>100u
Another rough method :infuse 5+50cm saline at arate of (the child weight/hour)
NB:
- don't elevate blood glucose by D 25 as it increase the osmolarity and cause brain
damage
113
-to infuse concentrated glucose . 12.5 % need central line as if in peripheral line
>>>tissue damage
e.g : 6 in 4 kg baby
>>>N F = 265 ml
D25>>>>100ml>>>>>25gm
Hypoglycemia
N.B:- Early detection and TTT is essential otherwise brain damage may occur
-causes:
aspiration ,$
2- IDM
114
3-sepsis
oral hypoglycemic
-C/P:
1- of cause as sepsis
2- absent c/p
- TTT:
TTT plan
A- Asymptomatic :
-loading : 2 ml / kg at rate of 1 ml /
min then infusion(maintenance) at 5
ml / kg / hr
B-symptomatic :
-Glucagon
Glucose
+ GI ratio + investigate
116
Hypocalcemia
Causes :
anticonvulsant in mother
rapidly
- double dose
117
4- not by UVC >>> hepatic necrosis
Hypercalcemia (rare)
-inflow obstruction
e.g pneumothorax
-TAPVR
C/P:
- Urine < 0.5 ml/kg/hr, tachycardia , poor perfusion , cold extremities with
118
normal core temp , tachypnea

119
C/p:
Causes :
-coarcitation of aorta
TTT:
HYPERTHERMIA
Causes:
-drug effect: PG E
Complications:
-increased metabolic rate & o2 consumption >>> increased RR, HR , fluid loss ,
irritability , apnea , periodic breathing , dehydration , acidosis , brain damage
TTT:
Hypotheremia
121
Def:- temp < 36.5 c
Causes :
Complication :
2-acidosis : due to conversion of brown fat to heat & fatty acid & lactic acid (
by glucose )
Risk factors :
2-SGA
3-sick baby
TTT:
122
-warm slowly as rapid warming may lead to apnea , hypotension
- Rewarm at 1 c/ hr
1-take a brief history ( Name ,age , sibling , type of labour.. CS/VD , FT/PT ,
maternal DM, HTN ,PROM , state at birth , cause of presentation , times in
incubator )
2- Questions to mother ?
( ) -:-
-:activity -
- examination -
a-auscultate chest
c- Heart , abdomen
d-umblicus care >> If pus >> anaflex powder (AB) + regular cleaning
by alcohol
123
Poor perfusion
1-sepsis:Abs
4-Hypoventilation: give O2
5-pneumothorax
6-NEC
124
Tachycardia
-Normal HR :120-160 may reach 70-90 during sleep & 170-190 during cry
-causes:
Hyperthyroidism
Pathophysology:
125
Others causes: 1- hyperkalamia 2-cardiac arrhythmia 3-diaphragmatic
hernia
4-hypothyrodism 5-hydrocephalus
Treatment
DD of tense fontanels
* Ask CT
2- ICH
2- CNS infection
126
NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis)
Risk factors
Diagnosis : by a triad of
TTT:
14-7
- Very serious disease that lead to death or cp ,has very bad prognosis
- Once suspected>>ask CT
127
- These are the most important signs:
1-pallor
85 ( X )
2-convulsions
5-neck rigidity
6-opisthotonus
Neonatal edema
- Common causes :
1- Sepsis
2- Prematurity
3- Delay or decrease dose of aminovein
4- Renal failure : either
1- prerenal >>> hypotension
2- renal problem
3- post renal obstruction
How to manage :
-1nephrotoxic
2- ask u
rea ,creat. + Na , K
128
3-press on urinary bladder >> why
4-give challenge test>>> shock therapy +lasix ( if urine come , the cause is prerenal )
Down syndrome
3- simian crease.
