CHAPTER 5 Immediate Newborn Care After Birth
https://t.me/medicina_free
129
Professional care providers are only temporary
caregivers. It is our responsibility to help parents
become confident, primary caregivers of their
own infants. Actively involving parents in the
care and treatment of their newborn further
solidifies their position as primary caregivers.
125
Encouraging active parental involvement enhances
the parents’ self-esteem and confidence in their abilities; thus our actions must tell and reassure the parents, “You are able to care for this baby.” An RCT
comparing the ability of parents to perform the
baby’s first bath in the mother’s room versus a nurse
bathing the baby in the admission nursery found
no difference in temperature changes irrespective
of who bathed the baby or where the bath was
125
given.
The newborn heat loss experienced with
bathing was significant and returned to normal in 1

hour. Parents in the study wanted the opportu-
nity to bathe their infants and gained confidence
in their parenting skill/ability. With the super-
vision of the nurse, ensuring an environment to
reduce heat loss (e.g., warm, draft-free room, temperature assessment, warm water, use of kangaroo
care after the bath) and using the bath as a teaching
opportunity, parents can bathe their own infants.
At discharge, performing the physical examination in the room with the parents offers a
final opportunity to teach, counsel, and advise
them before they take their new baby home.
Information about feeding, cord care, bathing, elimination patterns, safety, signs of illness, medications,
and the importance of follow-up care is essential
for parents of a full-term, healthy newborn (Box
5.5). It is also essential for parents taking home an
• Proper positioning supine for safe sleep: “Back to Sleep.” Model “Back
to Sleep” by placing babies who are in cribs only on their backs to
sleep. All care providers (e.g., parents, grandparents, day care providers, babysitters) should sleep babies supine (see Chapter 13).
• Use of skin-to-skin care for full term infant is soothing, calming, and rec-
ommended.54 A 50-minute session of skin-to-skin care at 5 to 7 weeks
of age has been shown to decrease an infant’s salivary cortisol level
prior to a bath.21 Skin-to-skin contact must be done safely—position
infant prone on adult chest with head turned to one side, face visible
with nose and mouth uncovered; neck is straight, not bent, and head is
in the “sniffing” position; legs are flexed, and the baby is covered with a
blanket. Adults do not sleep while the baby is in skin-to-skin contact.
• Importance of a smoke-free environment because secondhand smoke is
associated with an increased risk for developing health problems.
• NEVER shake the baby! Babies are shaken by frustrated caregivers when
the infant continues to cry. Dangers of shaking infants include blindness,
brain damage, developmental delays, seizures, paralysis, and death.
(See Resource Materials for Parents at the end of this chapter.) Education
of parents about normal sleep and crying patterns, techniques for soothing infants, possible medical causes for crying, and parent self-care advice
lowers parental depression and enhances parent confidence in caregiving.
• Information, in writing, about all medications for their infant including
name, action, dose, route, side effects, and schedule (see Chapter 10).
• Proper swaddling technique: Safe swaddling includes positioning the baby’s
extremities in slight flexion and abduction; baby should be able to freely
move lower extremities. Placing an infant’s hips and knees in an extended
position with swaddling increases the risk of hip dysplasia and dislocation.
• Teach parents the importance of their own self-care: need for adequate
sleep/rest, nutrition/hydration, privacy, stress management, recreation,
and sex.

infant after prolonged hospitalization. In addition,
a modified version of the Brazelton examination
on all neonates enables parents to become familiar
with a newborn’s competencies for reacting to and
shaping his or her environment and with strategies
for parental intervention. Developing written materials for parents about normal newborn care and
documenting teaching sessions and return demonstrations ensure that no important information is
forgotten (see Chapter 31 for discharge planning
and teaching strategies).

distinct “cold challenge.” Failure to adjust to this cold
stress has historically been recognized, particularly in
premature and low-birth-weight (LBW) infants, with
the development of variable degrees of hypothermia
and increased morbidity and mortality rates. At birth, the
body temperature of the newborn infant will approximate or slightly exceed that of the mother. Within
minutes of birth, however, core temperature begins to
fall precipitously, particularly in infants with birth weights
less than 1500 g. These infants have a diminished
capacity for metabolic heat production, a high surface area to volume ratio, and immature epidermal
barrier leading to extraordinarily high evaporative
heat losses. Consequently, they are highly vulnerable
to the development of hypothermia. Thermal man-
agement has become a cornerstone in neonatal
intensive care. Earlier studies conducted in term and
preterm infants worldwide concluded that maintenance
of body temperature through control of the thermal
environment is paramount for the reduction of morbidity and mortality risks in LBW infants.

HISTORICAL MILESTONES
The first incubator for neonates was introduced in
the early 1830s. Dr. Stephane Tarnier, Chairman
of Obstetrics of the University of Paris, first
applied the principle of graded incubation (commonly used in chick embryos) in developing a
covered incubator chamber that has been widely
recognized as the first attempt to systematically
provide a warmed environment for premature
infants. In 1835 in St. Petersburg, Russia, Von
Ruehl introduced an incubator described as a
double-walled box that circulated warmed water
within the interspace.
and Auvard, modified Tarnier’s incubator by adding a thermometer and regulatory alarms to alert
the infant’s nurse attendant to either increase or
decrease the incubator’s prescribed temperature.
The care of newborns was delegated to Madame
Henry, Midwife-in-Chief, who oversaw the building of a pavilion specifically for the care of
these weakling newborns.
12 incubators, in which fragile newborns were
warmed over a hot-water reservoir attached to
an external source of heat. These were impressive
first steps in attempting to control the fragile heat
balance of weak preterm infants. Over the next 60
years, in Tarnier’s and Budin’s clinic, refinements
of incubation techniques resulted in an increased
survival from 38% to 66% in infants weighing
between 1200 and 2000 g. Dr. Tarnier’s successor,
Dr. Budin, continued this important early practice
of neonatology, focusing on the home care of these

high-risk babies. Alexandre Lion improved the
design of incubators and charged spectators a fee
to see them in action, which led to a very popular
show at the Berlin Exposition of 1896. An associate of Lion, Martin Couney, brought the incubator shows to the United States, where Dr. Joseph
DeLee adopted the technology and opened an
“incubator station” in 1900 at the Chicago Lyingin Hospital. Nearly all of the large expositions in
America hosted “Incubator Baby Side Shows.”
These began in 1898 with the Trans-Mississippi
Exposition and continued on to the New York
World’s Fair in 1939.
Dr. Couney’s display of incubators at Luna
Park on Coney Island and at a second park named
Dreamland hosted premature babies from New
York hospitals that lacked the facilities to care for
them. These infants were lined up under heaters in
incubators, and they breathed filtered air. At least
8000 babies passed through these incubators, and at
least 6000 were saved. Servocontrolled radiant heat
in incubators was initially reported by Agate and
Silverman in 1963.
110
Today’s radiant warmer is an evolution from the
original idea of Agate and Silverman. Radiant
energy as the sole source of heat from an overhead
panel was described in 1969 by Due and Oliver.
Widespread use of the warmer in the delivery
room was readily accepted and soon led to its use
in the NICU. The factors that affect heat loss and
heat production were elucidated. As intensive care
became more readily available, easy accessibility to
the infants became increasingly necessary and the
open warmer became more readily used.
66
Changes in the radiant warmer have included
the introduction of incubators that are interchangeable with and convert to radiant warmers. The use
of humidification in the incubators has also been
improved to allow for varying humidification based
on the infant’s gestational age and weight. These
new beds allow the caregiver to rotate the mattress
360 degrees for easy patient access and provide
an in-bed scale. In recent years, new approaches
to thermal care of the newborn preterm baby
have been extensively studied,* including occlusive
wrapping, placing on heated mattresses, and skinto-skin (kangaroo) care. The role and clinical significance of these approaches will be discussed later.

PHYSIOLOGIC
CONSIDERATIONS
Animals that maintain their body temperature within a
narrow range through a wide range of environmental
temperatures are known as homeotherms. Humans, as
homeotherms, maintain a “normal” body temperature by balancing the amount of heat lost
from the body with the amount of heat generated
from within the body. Our ability to cope with
changing thermal environments improves physically
and physiologically with age. Eventually we are physically able to move to a different place with a more
suitable environment or dress more appropriately
when the temperature is uncomfortable.
Babies, especially preterm or small-for-gestational-age (SGA) babies, of course cannot physically
respond as older children would, and even their
physiologic responses are different and limited. Adults
lose some thermoregulatory control during rapid-eye-movement sleep. Although newborn infants
spend much time in active sleep, their thermoregulatory control is not impaired during this period of active
sleep,71 which indicates the developmental importance
of both thermoregulation and active sleep in the maturation of newborn infants.
Neutral Thermal Environment
Physiologic responses to a cold environment include
metabolic reactions that consume substrate and oxygen and result in heat production. A neutral thermal
temperature is the body temperature at which an
individual baby’s oxygen consumption is minimized (Fig. 6.1). Thus a minimal amount of the
baby’s energy is expended for heat maintenance,
and energy is conserved for other basic functions
and for growth. Minimal metabolic activity is possible
within a narrow range of temperatures, so temperatures
that are too high or too low add stress and increase
metabolic rate. Extreme deviations from this range
overwhelm the thermoregulatory mechanisms, leading
to body temperature imbalances and potentially death.
The goal in controlling a neonate’s environment
is to minimize energy expended by him or her to
maintain a “normal” temperature, thus eliminating
thermal stress. This neutral thermal environment
is the sum total of factors at which a baby with a
normal body temperature has a minimal metabolic
rate and therefore minimal oxygen consumption
(Fig. 6.2). Both traditional indirect calorimetry and
