ATI MATERNAL NEWBORN REMEDIATION 2021 Assessment and Management of Newborn Complications Assessment and management of newborn complications include assessment, risk factors, and collaborative care. Complications include: o Neonatal Substance Withdrawal o Hypoglycemia o Respiratory Distress o Meconium aspiration o Preterm size of the newborn o Postmature newborn o Macrocosmic newborn o Congenital abnormalities Nursing Care of Newborns: Performing Suctioning with a Bulb Syringe Interventions for stabilization and resuscitation of airway o The newborn is able to clear most secretions in air passages by the cough reflex. Routine suctioning of the mouth, then the nasal passages with a bulb syringe, is done to remove excess mucus in the respiratory tract. o Newborns delivered by C-sections are more likely to have more fluid remain in the lungs than newborns delivered by vaginal birth. o If bulb suctioning is unsuccessful, mechanical suctioning and back blows and chest thrusts can be used. o The bulb syringe should be kept with the newborn, and the newborn’s family should be instructed on how it is to be used.
