Transition Totally new experiences! ~ lungs begin gas exchange ~ fetal circulatory pathways ~ metabolic processes ~ sensory inputs Born at Term Early cries → lung expansion Relaxation → awakening → activity Breast crawl → exploring → suckling Sleep Born at Term The term neonate experiences: warmth and calm comfort familiar maternal heartbeat bonding Born Preterm Resuscitation → maternal separation Admission → maternal separation Procedures → maternal separation Born Preterm The preterm neonate experiences: loss of warmth loss of comfort loss of familiar heartbeat sound No time for bonding! The Care Team Urgency to do everything NOW ~ Resuscitation ~ The ABCs ~ THERMOREGULATION ~ Glucose/metabolic support ~ Infection prevention Potential Failures ~ Succumbing to the chaos ~ Lack of effective teamwork ~ Miscommunication ~ Preventable Error Performance Impacts Immediate and long-term sequelae Optimal outcomes Resuscitation Notification – coordinate - standardize Who responds?
