Summary

So last month we considered Maternal Emergencies and the approach and interventions we can make in order to minimise complications during pregnancy and during childbirth. As promised this month we're looking at the next step along the process and focussing on Newborn Life Support.

Dealing with newborns has the potential to be really stressful but hopefully by concentrating on the fundamentals and guidelines we'll all be able to approach the situation with greater confidence.

Let us know any thought and comments you have on the podcast.

Enjoy!

Simon, Rob & James

0:00.0	Welcome to the recess room podcast.
0:03.5	Five, four, three, two, one, fire.
0:12.0	So hi, and welcome back to the recess room podcast.
0:15.4	I'm Simon Lang.
0:16.9	I'm Rob Fenwick, and I'm James Yates.
0:19.0	And that means the band is back together. Oh yes. We're back for another episode of Roadside Teresa and this time on newborn life support. Absolutely. And you guys and Amy did a fantastic job on maternal emergencies last time. But I am super looking forward to this episode, even though it is slightly outside
0:39.1	my comfort zone. So James, fortunately, is currently working in this area, so we'll go through
0:44.0	that in a little bit more detail in a bit. But before we get into the podcast, a big thanks
0:48.8	to S.J. Trem, the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, who make this all free and open access for you to listen to.
0:57.8	Make sure you go over to their website and check out their free online articles
1:01.7	covering all the sorts of topics that we've got here on the podcast.
1:05.2	So without further ado, let's crack into the episode.
1:10.7	So as we talked about last time in our maternal emergencies podcast, at the end of that phase,
1:16.4	you've then hopefully got a newborn patient to treat as well.
1:20.2	And that in itself can be a hugely stressful situation, which requires a different approach
1:25.5	to the other patients that we might meet in our pre-hospital
1:28.3	and in-hospital care. Now, James, you're currently working in a neonatal role. So just to prove
1:34.4	that one of us does know what we're talking about in a bit more depth, can you just run through
1:38.3	exactly what that role entails? Yeah, thanks, Simon. And hopefully it will become apparent that
1:44.0	I might know what I'm talking about through the course of this episode. But we're about to find out, aren't we?
1:50.4	Let's see if all the training's paid off, shall we? I'm training at the minute as an advanced paramedic practitioner with the newborn emergency stabilization and transport team based in Bristol. And what that means is that I am sitting on the same rotor as neonatal registrars and
2:07.2	senior advanced neonatal nurse practitioners.
