Management of Respiratory Problems
Chapter 10
Respiratory and Cardiovascular Support in the Delivery Room

Abstract
Aeration of the lungs following delivery is the key to successful transition to newborn life. Clearance of lung fluid enables the onset of gas exchange and initiates the cardiovascular changes, leading to an increase in pulmonary blood flow and maintenance of systemic cardiac output. Most infants make the transition without interventions but up to 10% require some assistance. In some cases, the need for resuscitation may be anticipated, but others with no risk factors require help. Hence, trained personnel must be available at every delivery to assess the newborn and initiate resuscitation when necessary. Nonvigorous and preterm newborns should be taken to a radiant warmer for assessment. Care should be taken to maintain the infantâs temperature in the normal range. Effective ventilation is the single most important action to stabilize a compromised newborn infant. This may be achieved with a number of devices. Whichever is chosen, it is important that the user is proficient at using and troubleshooting that device. The best indicator of effective ventilation is a rapid rise in heart rate. Airway obstruction and mask leak are the most common causes of ineffective ventilation. Current guidelines recommend starting resuscitation with air for term and near-term infants and 30% oxygen for preterm infants. Pulse oximetry may be used to titrate oxygen therapy to achieve oxygen saturation levels similar to those seen in healthy term newborns. Cardiac compressions are recommended for infants with heart rates persistently lower than 60 beats/min. Compressions should be centered over the lower third of the sternum and delivered to a depth of one-third the anteroposterior diameter of the chest. A compression-to-ventilation ratio of 3:1 is currently recommended. Medications may be required in the setting of very severe asphyxia. Epinephrine is useful for asystole or agonal bradycardia because it improves diastolic blood pressure and hence coronary perfusion.

Understanding the Transition to Newborn Life
The transition from fetal to newborn life represents one of the greatest physiologic challenges that all humans encounter. During fetal life, the lungs are liquid-filled, and at birth this liquid must be rapidly cleared from the airways to allow the entry of air and the onset of pulmonary gas exchange.1 Pulmonary blood flow (PBF) must also markedly increase and several specialized vascular shunts must close to separate the pulmonary and systemic circulations.2 While it is often considered that these events are independent, we now know that they are intimately linked.3 Lung aeration is the primary trigger that not only facilitates the onset of pulmonary gas exchange but also stimulates an increase in PBF, which in turn initiates the cardiovascular changes.3 The fact that lung aeration triggers the physiologic transition at birth underpins the well-established tenet of neonatal resuscitation. That is, establishing effective pulmonary ventilation is the key.
Recent radiographic imaging studies have demonstrated that lung aeration can occur very rapidly (in three to five breaths) and mostly occurs during inspiration or during positive-pressure inflations in ventilated neonates (Fig. 10.1).4,5 It is thought that hydrostatic pressure gradients generated by inspiration (or positive-pressure inflations) drive liquid from the airways into the surrounding lung tissue.4,5 However, as the interstitial tissue compartment of the lung has a fixed volume, the clearance of airway liquid into this compartment during lung aeration increases lung interstitial tissue pressures. Thus immediately following lung aeration, the neonatal lung is essentially edematous, which affects lung tissue mechanics and increases the likelihood of liquid reentering the airways during expiration.6 Use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) opposes liquid reentry and ensures that air remains in the distal gas exchange units throughout the respiratory cycle (Fig. 10.2).7 Thus PEEP not only reduces distal airway collapse at end-expiration, it also reduces airway liquid reentry and by retaining air in the distal airways allows gas exchange to continue throughout the respiratory cycle.7
