Adaptation To Extrauterine Life. Umbilical cord clamping decreases oxygen concentration increases carbon dioxide concentration and decreases the blood ph. Identify adaptive changes to other systems. Adaptation to extrauterine life represents a transition from aquatic to terrestric life and encompasses marked changes in body water content and fluid homeostasis. Identify signs and symptoms of common problems in the transition period.
The first stage occurs in the first 30 minutes of life. Adaptation to extrauterine life. Pulmonary blood flow surfactant production and respiratory musculature also influence respiratory adaptation to extrauterine life. Establishment of independent breathing and oxygen carbon dioxide exchange depends on these physiologic factors. Pulmonary blood flow surfactant production and respiratory musculature also influence respiratory adaptation to extrauterine life. These periods are divided into three stages.
During this stage the infant is alert and responsive with heart rate peaking at 160 180 beats per minute and then stabilizes to a baseline rate of 100 120 beats.
