BackgroundIn 2016 the Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation released recommendations which focused on: The golden hour, or initial first hour of neonatal life including neonatal resuscitation, post-resuscitation care, transportation to the neonatal intensive care unit, respiratory and cardiovascular support and the initial course in the nursery. Interventions in the first hour of life can have a significant impact on short and long term outcomes for very low birth weight babies.Key ObjectiveThe key objective of this guideline is to ensure compliance with the requirements of the care bundle and provide consistency of practice.Back to Table of ContentsScopeThis document pertains to the admission and care of ELBW babies and/or babies born less than 28 weeks gestation.This document is applicable to clinicians who are working within their scope of practice, including:Medical Officers Registered Nurses (RN) and Registered Midwives (RM) Students under direct supervision.Back to Table of ContentsSection 1 – Extremely Preterm Early Management (e-PREM) bundle – The Golden HourThe components of the Golden Hour include; Counselling and team briefing, delayed cord clamping, prevention of hypothermia, respiratory system support, cardiovascular system support, early nutrition, prevention of infection, laboratory investigation and communication with the family.

The prime objective of the golden hour is to use evidence based interventions and treatment for better outcomes. In the golden hour, a standard approach is followed, derived from the best available evidence with the aim of practicing gentle but timely and effective interventions with non-invasive procedures. Prevention of hypothermia is an important consideration in this early management. Hypothermia is defined as a temperature <36.5°C. ELBW babies must maintain axillary temperature between 36.5-37.5°C.

Radiant heat should remain on but do not allow polyethylene to overheat. Do not use conventional plastic wrap as this will melt under the radiant heaterUse the pre-activated trans-warmer mattress only if there has been insufficient time to warm the birthing room/theatre or resuscitaire or to set up the humidified neopuff systemEnsure cardiorespiratory monitor and pulse oximeter are ready for useEnsure emergency drugs-adrenaline and syringes are available & calculate approximate doseEnsure equipment for emergency Umbilical Vein Catheter (UVC) insertion and normal saline is available.Humidification of the Neopuff CircuitResuscitation via Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or intubation using humidified gas in a closed Neopuff circuit assists in the prevention of hypothermia.Procedure Fill neo-puff humidifier base with 30mL sterile waterAttach CPAP prongs (smallest size) to the CPAP circuit and leave in place Turn neopuff settings to PIP 25, PEEP 5Ensure the flow of gas through the neopuff is set at 10L/minTurn on humidifier base Neopuff set up with humidified base attachedIn Birthing Unit:At birth receive baby in warm blankets with polyethylene wrap on top. Immediately wrap the baby’s entire body in polyethylene wrap, excluding the head and umbilical cord. Do not dry the babyDry the baby’s head and cover with a beanie or CPAP hatDelay cord clamping for 1 minute if possible. Keep baby securely wrapped until the cord is cutSwaddle (wrap) the polyethylene wrapped baby with warmed blankets as soon as possible after resuscitationProceed with resuscitation as requiredBabies who require positive pressure ventilation require a 3 lead ECG to ensure accurate monitoring of the baby’s heart rate during resuscitationTake the baby’s axillary temperature before leaving the birthing unit. If temperature > 37.2C remove chemically warmed mattress (if used) before placing baby into the isolette. In Operating Theatres (OT) if born by Caesarean Section:If the baby is born by caesarean section the scrubbed nurse/midwife will receive the baby onto a sterile receiver wrapNICU nurse receives baby in warm blankets with polyethylene wrap on top. Immediately wrap the baby’s entire body in polyethylene wrap, excluding the head and umbilical cord. Do not dry the babyDelay cord clamping for 1 minute if possible. Keep baby securely wrapped until the cord is cutSwaddle (wrap) the polyethylene wrapped baby with warmed blankets as soon as possible after resuscitationDry the baby’s head and cover it with a beanie/CPAP hatBabies who require positive pressure ventilation require a 3 lead ECG to ensure accurate monitoring of the baby’s heart rate during resuscitationProceed with resuscitation as requiredTake the baby’s axillary temperature before leaving the theatre. If temperature > 37.2°C remove chemically warmed mattress (if used) before placing baby into the isolette Prior to leaving the OT remove all accountable items from resuscitaire, e.g. grey wire and laryngoscope blade.On arrival to the NICU:Add humidity to the isolette (if baby is <1000g and <28 weeks gestation) Weigh the baby with polyethylene wrap insitu in the isolette if possibleCheck and record the baby’s axillary temperature (maintain between 36.5 – 37.5°C ) on the observation chart and admission form Once the baby is stabilized and umbilical lines/intravenous cannulas are secured, the polyethylene wrap may be removed, the baby dried and humidity continuedCommence preterm starter TPN (10%) and lipids at 2g/kg/dayAim to give caffeine and antibiotics (if required) within one hour of admission, as soon as access is obtainedNest and settle baby and minimally handle the babyInform the family of the baby’s progress and emphasise the need for early expressed breastmilk (EBM)Start feeds with EBM 1ml 4th hourly as soon as EBM is available or use first expressed breastmilk for mouth careComplete e-PREM compliance checklist, See Attachment 2Determine ongoing respiratory requirements Obtain a detailed obstetric history from the clinical recordBack to Table of Contents Section 3 – Skin Care and Humidification via an IsoletteThe skin is the largest organ of the body, functioning as a protective and regulatory barrier between the body and external environment. The skin of the ELBW baby is fragile and transparent due to the thin non- existent stratum corneum. This subsequently increases trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) causing fluid and electrolyte imbalances, ineffective thermoregulation, increased permeability and absorption of creams and/or cleaning agents and greater risk of epidermal stripping when using adhesives. These factors lead to an increased risk of infection and delayed healing. The ELBW baby may not have fully mature skin until 30-32 weeks postconceptional age.Alerts The heat from Transcutaneous monitors (TCMs) can burn and TCM adhesive rings can cause epidermal stripping when removed. If a TCM is required, decrease the temperature settings to 43C and re-site 2-3 hourly.EquipmentOhmeda Giraffe isoletteTemperature probeSmall chest leads for babies born < 1000gWarm bedding: nest lined with abdominal sponge Monitor for Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) and Saturations Mefix ?

Lightly press a cotton wool ball against the adhesive parts of the SaO2 probe and then attach to the baby’s foot with a saturation wrapContinue to monitor the baby using the chest leads for ELBW babies. Do not use conventional chest leads on these babies as they may cause skin damage or tearsAll adhesive tape for cannulas should have cotton wool pressed against it prior to applying to the baby to reduce the incidence of skin tearsIt is not necessary for an ELBW baby to wear an identification label. These may be attached to the isolette. An identification sticker must be attached to the umbilical lines and feeding tube. Securing Umbilical catheters0.2% Chlorhexidine is used to the clean the baby’s abdomen prior to the insertion of umbilical cathetersApply Tegaderm? to the abdomen around the umbilicus and use this as a base to secure the catheters using the goal post strapping as outlined in the Clinical Procedure Venous and Arterial Access and Management in Neonatal Intensive CareTegaderm should be left in place when lines are removed until the baby is out of humidityCommence fluids at 80mL/kg/day unless otherwise indicated HumidificationBackgroundProvision of a high humidity environment limits transepidermal water loss, improves temperature control and reduces the risk of fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Commence humidity at 85% from admission for preterm babies 28 weeks gestation or less, or less than 1000 grams. Reduce humidity by 5% daily from day 7 to14 as epidermal maturation occurs. Humidity is continually weaned until the humidity level reaches 40% when it is then turned off. This may take 7-10 days from the commencement of weaning. The reduction of humidity may alter the baby’s thermoregulation; therefore increase the cot temperature as indicated. Equipment (humidification)Ohmeda Giraffe isoletteHumidifier reservoirBottle of sterile water for irrigationProcedure (humidification)Ensure humidity reservoir is correctly insertedTo fill the reservoir grasp it and push down: the reservoir will tilt open for fillingFill to the line on the heater cylinder with sterile water for irrigation and tilt the reservoir back into placeDo not fill the reservoir past the fill level as this will decrease the level of humidification within the isoletteUse the LED Humidifier Screen on the graphics display of the isolette to set the desired humidity levelOnce umbilical lines have been inserted commence humidity at 85% The reduction of humidity may alter the baby’s thermoregulation; therefore increase cot temperature as needed to maintain baby’s temperature between 36.5 and 37.5 degreesHumidity reservoir should be changed weekly when the isolette is changed and sent for pasteurisation to reduce the potential risk of colonisation of the reservoir waterClean all skin creases, neck, ears and underarms every 6-8 hourly or as required. Apply antifungal creams to skin folds as per medication chart (antifungal creams should not be visible after application, a light smear is all that is required)Baby should be nursed with abdominal sponge between skin and bed to absorb any excess moisture. Linen should be changed with cares 6 – 8hrly as it becomes dampAll babies born <1250g must be weighed daily for the first 7 postnatal days or until birth weight has been regained or for a longer period as directed by the NeonatologistTo maintain skin integrity, prevent epidermal stripping and infection use a hydrocolloid dressing as a base between skin and tape when securing feeding tubes and nasal prongsAvoid the use of adhesives on the ELBW baby. Do not apply a urine bag to collect urine for testing, place cotton wool balls in the nappy Ensure that condensation within the isolette does not impair accurate observation of the babyBack to Table of Contents Implementation This Guideline will be:Discussed in existing education i.e. in-service, in orientation of new staff, displayed in work rooms.Sent out via all staff email and available on the CHHS Policy register on SharePoint.Back to Table of ContentsRelated Policies, Procedures, Guidelines and LegislationLegislationHealth Records (Privacy and Access) Act 1997Work Health and Safety Act 2011Human Rights Act 2004ProceduresNon-Elective Caesarean Section (including classification of urgency)Venous and Arterial Access and Management in Neonatal Intensive CareNeonatal Routine CareUrine Collection in Neonates procedureVenepuncture Blood Specimen Collection procedureGuidelinesBirth Requiring the Presence of a Neonatal Medical Team MemberNeonatal hypoglycaemiaNeonatal Intensive Care Drug ManualBack to Table of ContentsReferencesKnoble, R. & Holditch –Davis, D.
