4. Check tactile response, if none, bag/mask. If no peak
pressure response in 30 secs = intubate.

What is NB asphyxia? The blood flow is interrupted because
of one of two things:
1. Hypoxia (low HR, High BP, apnea 30-60sec, gasp 3-
6/min)
2. Secondary Apnea: low HR/low BP = organ injury
, What is NB apnea? Primary: physical stimulation is needed
to initiate breathing.

+result = toes will fan out (which is normal until age 2).
