ESSENTIAL NEWBORN CARE
![Page 20: CLERKS’ ORIENTATION Section of Newborn Medicine Department of Pediatrics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c23e43/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1.Cleanliness Clean delivery and cord care for the
prevention of newborn infections- clean hands with sterile gloves- clean perineum- clean delivery surface - cleanliness in cutting the umbilical cord- cleanliness for cord care of the
newborn baby.
![Page 21: CLERKS’ ORIENTATION Section of Newborn Medicine Department of Pediatrics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c23e43/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cord Care Keep the cord dry and clean at all times. Apply 70% isopropyl alcohol to the cord and
let it dry. Diaper should be fastened below the cord. Bandages, binders or dressings should be
avoided. The stump will dry and mummify easily if exposed to air.
Redness around the base, foul odor or drainage from the cord warrants immediate consult.
![Page 22: CLERKS’ ORIENTATION Section of Newborn Medicine Department of Pediatrics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c23e43/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2. Thermoregulation Normal NB body temp. – 36.5 to 37.5 C Body heat is lost through:
a. Conduction- heat loss from the infant to the surface on which he or she lies.b. Convection- heat is lost from skin to moving air.c. Radiation- heat loss from the infant to a colder object in the environment.d. Evaporation- transfer of heat from skin and respiratory tract to a drier environment.
![Page 23: CLERKS’ ORIENTATION Section of Newborn Medicine Department of Pediatrics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c23e43/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Prevention of HypothermiaDelivery of baby in a warm room.Drying the baby thoroughly after birth.Wrapping the baby in a dry warm cloth.Early skin-to-skin contact for the first
few hours after birth.The temperature of the infant should be
checked regularly.
![Page 24: CLERKS’ ORIENTATION Section of Newborn Medicine Department of Pediatrics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f115503460f94c23e43/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3. BreastfeedingLatching-on Early contact between mother and
baby.Exclusive breastfeedingFeeding should be on a per demand
basis.Family education about the importance
of breastfeeding.

5. Immunization At birth, BCG and Hepatitis B vaccines are
recommended by WHO. BCG should be given as soon as possible
after birth. Hepatitis B vaccine should be integrated into
national immunization programmes. For Hep B (+) reactive mothers, pls prescribe
HBIG. Should be given w/in 12 hours. Study guidelines on Hep B prophylaxis posted at the catchers’ area.
