  2. Adaptation to extrauterine life - Wikipedia

    Manifestations: Breathing patterns are often irregular and shallow. The infants respiration rate should be between 30 and 60 breaths per minute with preference for nasal breathing. Ribs expands horizontally. Breath sounds should be clear and equal in both lungs. Abdominal breathing is normal. Acrocyanosis is a normal finding. [1]

    After first 5 breaths, if effective, it is also advisable to search for signs such movements, coughing, shortness and possibly only the presence of pulse, for less than 10 seconds. [citation needed] if there are signs of circulation or a heart rate greater than 60 continue ventilations with a rate of 20 per minute.

    If the child has a pulse but isn't breathing, provide ventilation and give oxygen (when possible). Once it has been established that the child has a pulse, is breathing, and doesn't require immediate life saving treatment, the provider will begin their primary assessment followed by a secondary assessment and further diagnostic workup.

  5. Respiratory rate - Wikipedia

    This gives the lower of the average rate at 12 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: [11] [self-published source] [12] birth to 6 weeks: 30–40 breaths per minute; 6 months: 25–40 breaths per minute; 3 years: 20–30 breaths per minute; 6 years: 18–25 breaths per minute; 10 years: 17–23 breaths per minute

    Normal breathing rates are between 12 and 20 breaths per minute, [14] and if a patient is breathing below the minimum rate, then in current ILCOR basic life support protocols, CPR should be considered, although professional rescuers may have their own protocols to follow, such as artificial respiration.

  7. Apgar score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apgar_score

    The Apgar score is a quick way for health professionals to evaluate the health of all newborns at 1 and 5 minutes after birth and in response to resuscitation. [1] It was originally developed in 1952 by an anesthesiologist at Columbia University, Virginia Apgar, to address the need for a standardized way to evaluate infants shortly after birth.

  8. Bayley Scales of Infant Development - Wikipedia

    This measure consists of a series of developmental play tasks and takes between 45 – 60 minutes to administer [1] [2] and derives a developmental quotient (DQ) rather than an intelligence quotient (IQ). [3] Raw scores of successfully completed items are converted to scale scores and to composite scores.

  9. Lung volumes and capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_volumes_and_capacities

    Tidal volume increases by 30–40%, from 0.5 to 0.7 litres, [9] and minute ventilation by 30–40% [9] [10] giving an increase in pulmonary ventilation. This is necessary to meet the increased oxygen requirement of the body, which reaches 50 ml/min, 20 ml of which goes to reproductive tissues.
