Radiant Warmer
A radiant warmer provides a controlled environment to maintain the infant's body temperature. Hypothermia can lead to serious complications, so it is crucial to use a radiant warmer during resuscitation.
Resuscitation Bag and Mask
A
self-inflating bag, flow-inflating bag, or T-piece resuscitator, along with masks of various sizes, are used to deliver positive pressure ventilation (PPV) to newborns who are not breathing adequately.
Suction Device
A suction device is used to clear the newborn’s airway of secretions, blood, or meconium. This is critical for ensuring a clear airway for effective ventilation.
Endotracheal Tubes and Laryngoscope
For advanced airway management, endotracheal tubes and a laryngoscope are required. These tools are essential for
intubation in cases where bag-mask ventilation is ineffective.
Pulse Oximeter
A pulse oximeter is used to monitor the newborn's oxygen saturation levels. This helps guide the administration of supplemental oxygen and ensures that the infant is not exposed to hyperoxia.
Cardiorespiratory Monitor
This device monitors the newborn’s heart rate and respiratory rate, providing critical information that guides resuscitation efforts.
