Infants that appear with respiratory distress or cardiac arrest require immediate attention, and neonatal resuscitation is a crucial skill that can significantly impact the outcome. Here, we discuss a case of a two-month-old baby who needed ER resuscitation. The patient needed immediate assistance due to respiratory distress and cyanosis. This case study emphasizes how crucial it is to follow the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) algorithm because it allows the patient to have a successful outcome. Regarding the decision on whether to use NRP or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines for the two-month-old infant, it was ultimately decided to use the NRP guidelines. This decision was based on the preference of the institution. This case was successfully handled, highlighting the importance of complete training and adherence to the NRP recommendations for healthcare workers involved in neonatal care.
出现呼吸窘迫或心脏骤停的婴儿需要立即得到关注,新生儿复苏是一项至关重要的技能,会对结果产生重大影响。在此,我们讨论一例需要急诊复苏的两个月大婴儿的病例。该患者因呼吸窘迫和发绀需要立即得到帮助。本案例研究强调了遵循新生儿复苏计划(NRP)算法的重要性,因为这能让患者获得成功的结果。关于针对这名两个月大婴儿是使用NRP还是儿科高级生命支持(PALS)指南的决定,最终决定使用NRP指南。这一决定是基于机构的偏好。该病例得到了成功处理,凸显了对参与新生儿护理的医护人员进行全面培训并遵循NRP建议的重要性。
