and a stethoscope wash your hands then check your resuscitation equipment first squeeze the back and watch for the valve to open and close next make a seal with your palm and squeeze the back you should feel pressure against your hand see the bag we inflate and here air escaping from the Popoff valve then test your suction device squeeze it block the tip and release it should not expand until the tip is free the golden minute starts at birth place the baby on the lovers abdomen as you quickly try him you'll notice he hasn't cried now
change to a dry cloth you see he's not breathing raise the baby's jaw and check for secretions then stimulate him he's still not breathing now move the baby to a firm service position his head place the mask and make a tight seal then start to ventilations let's show these important first actions again in more detail [Music] immediately after the birth place the baby on his mother's abdomen and not the time of birth try the baby's head body arms and legs quickly and thoroughly drying the back can help to start the baby breathing notice he has
not cried yet a crying baby is a breathing baby change to a dry cloth to keep the baby warm now start the steps to help him breathe raise the baby's jaw to make it easier to breathe then check for secretions his nose and mouth are clear so there's no need to suction now rub the baby's back a few times to stimulate breathing observe his chest closely the baby is not breathing cut the cord now to move the baby to a separate area for ventilation stand at the baby's head and raise his jaw place the rim
of the mask just below the baby's mouth and roll it over his mouth and nose make a tight seal by pressing down on the mask and holding his chin up squeeze the back smoothly the chest should gently rise with each breath but here the chest does not rise now follow these steps to improve ventilation first reposition the baby's head then reapply the mask again give breaths if the chest still does not rise open them up a little and clear secretions from the mouth and nose try again to give breaths if you still don't see just
a movement squeeze the bag a little harder to give a larger breath now the baby's chest is rising give the baby breaths for one minute count out loud breathe two three breathe two three squeeze the bag on breathe and release the back on two three now and then the baby gasps these breaths are not effective you need to continue to ventilate after one minute of giving breaths with good chest movement your helper quickly checks the heart rate her finger moves in time with the beats of the baby's heart it's faster than an adult heart rate
so it's normal continue to ventilate and watch for the baby's own effort stop giving breaths when the heart rate stays normal and the baby starts crying or breathing well on his own we are sure the mother that her baby is breathing now put the baby on the mother's chest skin-to-skin and cover with warm blankets keeping the baby warm after resuscitation is a life saving a baby who needed resuscitation is especially vulnerable in the first hours after birth check the baby's breathing and temperature every 15 minutes until the first complete exam between one and two hours
