Heart Rate of a New Born >>>
Q: What is the normal heart rate of a newborn? If the heart rate of a new born is 40-60, how serious is the condition? Sam (Nashville, USA) |
A: The normal heart rate of a new born baby is roughly between 100 to 112 beats per min--- a heartbeat of 40 to 60 is dangerous and suggests neonatal asphyxia and the need for resuscitation using both ventilatory and cardiovascular management---i.e. cardiac massage and bag and mask ventilation. |
