Transition to extrauterine life is arguably the most important physiologic process a person experiences. Successful transition sets the stage for positive growth and development of the neonate. The infant who is unable to transition faces life- threatening issues. NICU nurses who are prepared with knowledge of the transition process and evidence based solutions for delays in this process make an incalculable difference in the lives of babies and families. This presentation will steep the nurse in normal and difficult transition, offer solutions to common transitional challenges and prepare the nurse for expert practice.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

Describe the systemic adaptations which are required for fetal to neonatal transition
Identify signs and symptoms of failure to transition to extrauterine life
Recommend evidence-based interventions to support the infant with delayed or difficult transition
