Comparison between the gas exchange between Fetus & Newborn
Gas exchange happens in the fetus.
What is the maternal placenta?
Newborn fetal heart rate.
What is 110-160 bpm?
Loss of heat when a liquid is converted to a vapor.
What is evaporation/
Cardiac sphincter and nervous control of stomach are immature leading to
What is regurgitation and uncoordinated peristaltic activity?
Where gas exchange happens in the newborn?
What are the lungs?
Newborn respiratory rate.
What is 30-60 and irregular?
Loss of body heat to cooler, solid surfaces in close proximity but not in direct contact?
What is radiation?
Protective barrier between body and environment.
What is the integument?
It is a fluid field, high pressure system, which cause blood to be shunted to be shunted from the lungs through the ductus arteriusus to the rest of the body.
What is the respiratory system of the fetus?
A newborn's hear rate.
What is 110-160BPM/
Flow of heat from body surface to cooler surrounding air or to air circulating over a body surface.
What is convection?
Affect newborn’s ability to excrete salt, water loads, and drugs.
What is regurgitation and uncoordinated peristaltic activity; Low glomerular filtration rate and limited excretion and conservation capability
The body temperature is maintained by maternal body temperature and the warmth of the intrauterine life.
What is the thermoregulation of the fetus?
The cause of a late deceleration?
What is uteroplacental insufficiency?
Transfer of heat from object to object when the two objects are in direct contact with each other.
What is Conduction?
Indication of neurologic development and function.
What is reflexes?
The body temperature of the newborn in maintained through this posture and brown fat.
What is flexed posture?
Normal hemoglobin of a newborn?
What is 16-18/?
An example of donduction.
What is placing the newborn skin-to-skin with the mother to helps to prevent heat loss through conduction?
A nurse is assessing the sensory capabilities of a newborn. Which is the least mature sense at birth?
a. Hearing
b. Vision
c. Smell
d. Taste
b. Vision
Vision is incomplete at birth with the ability to focus on objects only in close proximity. The newborn has an acute sense of hearing, smell, and taste.
