Respiratory distress is the leading cause of resuscitation and stabilization in the neonatal population. A comprehensive and concise respiratory assessment in a neonate is a key factor in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of respiratory distress or failure. It guides the provider in the type of adjuncts needed to aid the neonate to resolve their respiratory issues. In this module we define frequently used respiratory terminology, explain respiratory anatomy and physiology, describe the process of a neonatal respiratory exam, and list common neonatal respiratory conditions.

The cardiovascular system provides valuable information for the neonatal provider. Through palpation and inspection, and auscultation a provider can determine not only the general health including hemodynamic stability but also the presence of any congenital or iatrogenic cardiovascular abnormalities. In this module we define frequently used cardiovascular terminology, explain cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, describe the process of a neonatal cardiovascular exam, and list common neonatal cardiovascular conditions.

The abdominal assessment provides crucial data for the neonatal provider regarding physiologic function, readiness to feed, as well as clues to major organ anomalies or genetic syndromes. Alterations in the neonatal abdominal exam can be a result of genetic, environmental, and maternal factors. In this module we define frequently used abdominal terminology, explain abdominal anatomy and physiology, describe the process of a neonatal abdominal exam, and list common neonatal abdominal conditions.

The Mouth, nasal passages, ears, eyes, digestive & reproductive organ systems are all orifices or openings in our body and define as our most intimate parts of our body and hold the precincts of Body Autonomy. Since a physical examination of various kinds are a requirement for assessment & evaluation in clinical care, it provides us with an opportunity to establish trust and reinforce a safe encounter between a care provider and infant patient. Anyone especially an infant going through a physical examination maybe at risk to be experiencing shame, vulnerability & trauma which can have lifelong impacts such as triggers for past memories, anxiety, distress or discomfort or even PTSD. Immediately after the trauma, this can lead to oral aversions symptoms complete with refusal to latch & breastfeed, turning away from food, gagging. coughing & choking. Oral aversion situations pose an extremely stressful situation for all — the infant and the family and the care providers. Therefore, a respectable trauma-informed approach to the physical oral examination during the assessment, evaluation and treatment and rehabilitation of oral restrictions or ankylofrenulae (tongue tie) is essential and important. This will involve using gentle communication skills both verbal and nonverbal language and maneuvers to communicate respect of body autonomy and restore a sense of safety, trust & connection.
