Approximately 3.5 million babies are born each year in approximately 5000 hospitals in the United States. Only 15% of these hospitals have neonatal intensive care facilities. Six percent of all newborns require life support in the delivery room or nursery, and this need for resuscitation rises to 80% in neonates weighing less than 1500 g at birth. Personnel who are skilled in neonatal resuscitation and capable of functioning as a team and an appropriately equipped delivery room must always be readily available. At least one person skilled in neonatal resuscitation should be in attendance at every delivery. Currently, a joint effort by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association has resulted in the development of a comprehensive course to train appropriate personnel in neonatal resuscitation throughout the United States. Neonatal resuscitation is also taught as part of a Pediatric Advanced Life Support course offered by the American Heart Association. In concert with the goals of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association, we strongly urge all personnel responsible for care of the newborn in the delivery room to become certified in neonatal resuscitation. The practical approach to neonatal resuscitation is the focus of this article.

In October, 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) introduced revised guidelines for the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). These revisions affect the practice of neonatal resuscitation as well as the administrative components of the program. This article cannot address every program revision, but introduces the reader to how program changes occurred, guideline revisions that affect practice, and changes in NRP educational tools and resources.

The staff of La Rabida Sanitarium, Chicago, announces two 3 day graduate conferences on rheumatic fever and heart disease, to be held March 31 and April 2, 1954, and Oct. 7, 8 and 9, 1954, for pediatricians and practicing physicians. The spring session will precede the Annual Meeting of the American Heart Association in Chicago on April 3 and 4 and also the Areal Meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in Los Angeles the following week.

In spring 2006, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) will introduce revised materials for the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). These revisions affect the practice of neonatal resuscitation as well as the administrative components of the NRP. This article cannot address every program revision. Instead, it summarizes what prompted the program changes and then introduces the reader to guideline revisions that affect practice, as well as to changes in NRP tools and resources.The fifth edition of the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation is currently in press. The AAP granted permission to use material from the forthcoming edition in this article.

Revised materials for the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) will be released in spring 2006. These revisions are the result of a carefully synchronized process carried out by members of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Neonatal Delegation, which includes the American Academy of Pediatrics Neonatal Resuscitation Program Steering Committee and the American Heart Association. ILCOR provides a consistent international framework for identifying and reviewing research on various aspects of resuscitation, a forum for debating issues and reaching consensus, and a mechanism for publishing findings in medical journals. NRP 2006 materials will be the result of carefully coordinated efforts and international collaboration on resuscitation science.

La bacteremia secundaria a los procedimientos dentales puede dar origen a episodios de endocarditis infecciosa. La implementación de la profilaxis antimicrobiana tiene como finalidad aminorar la bacteremia transitoria reduciendo la posibilidad de desarrollar endocarditis infecciosa, por lo que es indispensable conocer qué antibióticos son de elección y en qué casos o situaciones administrarlos u omitirlos. Existen múltiples guías para aplicar profilaxis antimicrobiana, éstas difieren en sus recomendaciones, a tal grado que pueden confundir al facultativo al momento de determinar si el paciente requiere antibiótico profiláctico y a elegir el antimicrobiano adecuado. OBJETIVO: comparar las diferentes guías de profilaxis antimicrobiana y recomendaciones para converger en una recopilación única con las aportaciones destacadas de cada guía revisada; de la misma manera, exponer el régimen utilizado en nuestra institución por el servicio de estomatología. CONCLUSIÓN: el estomatólogo se puede basar principalmente en las guías de la American Heart Association (AHA) y el Centro Nacional de Excelencia Tecnológica en Salud (CENETEC) para condiciones cardiacas que ameriten profilaxis antimicrobiana, y para pacientes con enfermedades sistémicas sobre la guía de la American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) y las recomendaciones de nuestra institución. La administración de profilaxis antimicrobiana se da por razones científicas consolidadas y por carácter de tipo médico-legal, en un futuro se espera establecer criterios para aumentar los métodos no antibióticos preventivos de endocarditis infecciosa y aminorar el uso de antimicrobianos, reduciendo el uso de antibiótico profiláctico, sin exponer al paciente a infecciones diseminadas y con mínimos efectos secundarios posibles.
