Then, I'm going to go up. Gently open the airway. I'm doing two breaths. And then, I'm going to go back to my compressions. And as I open that airway, I'm doing it very gently. I don't want to hyperextend that baby's neck beyond the normal range of motion. ...
A newborn requires closer to a semi-reclined position to keep their airway open and their chin off their chest. Newborns and young babies have little neck control and their heads will flop off to the side very easily when they sleep; this is natural and does not hurt them at all. When...
When we are asleep, the area at the back of the throat sometimes narrows as the muscles relax, and even close off temporarily. The same amount of air passing through this smaller opening more rapidly can cause the tissues surrounding the opening to vibrate, which in turn can cause the sound...
We hypothesize that pacifier use and all other forms of non-nutritional sucking (specifically digit sucking, also known as thumb sucking) is a life saving defense mechanism meant to splint open and stabilize the collapsible portion of the upper airway in infants. The main objective of this ...
Lay the individual on their back, tilt their head back, and open their airway. Check to see if they’re breathing. This can be done by listening to them, seeing if their chest is going up and down, and checking their pulse. Start performing CPR. Use a combination of chest compressions...
their chest, their airway will be cut off and they do not have the ability until they’re older to move their head to breathe (that’s why we give them plenty of muscle-building practice with parent-monitored tummy time). We keep their airway physically open with the angle of the car...

Most babies are born healthy and grow and develop normally through childhood. There are, however, clearly identifiable high-risk groups of survivors, such as those born preterm or with ill-health, who are destined to have higher than expected rates of he
human studies that support the idea that income inequality is an underlying factor for the maladaptive changes seen in the microbiota in certain populations. We propose that this contributes to the health disparities that are seen between lower-income and higher-income populations in high-income ...
