  • The mom who posted this video is just trying to find a something to complain about. Maybe aiming for a lawsuit for a small change. After five babies, it's about time to stop! You seem like you are having a severe post partum depression.

  • I was born not being able to breath and this shows what the doctors did for me as a newborn...

  • Yeah too many hands in there :) 2 persons would be enough... The tactile stimulation a bit too much, dunno what part is it you think the baby is not breathing ! a baby not breathing wouldn't have this pinkish color! and the slight acrocyanosis (bluish extremities) is a totally normal thing in this phase! suctioning with the bulb is a bit unpractical, I used to suction with a suction catheter attached to a suction device, the pharynx, each nostril and the stomach, that's it.

  • wth? i can see why you'd be complaining, unless they re-used it on your little boy (who's beautiful, btw). but there you have not 1, 2 but SIX professionals attending to your baby - now that's good service! plus, the baby has just come out of your body...which is hardly sterile. i hope your little boy gets the freedom to muck around & get a bit grubby when he's little - you can't keep him in a bubble!

  • A beautiful healthy baby, with an experienced team of medical professionals at the baby's side to welcome it safely into the world and all this wining mother wants to do is find fault with these people. That’s so ungrateful, people are so hard to please and dissatisfied with everything. You should have had this baby in India, with no sanitized water, and your sister as a mid-wife lying on your kitchen floor, 300 miles from the nearest hospital with delivery complications, Ms Ungratetful

  • just be thankful,they did they job to me,many parents baby dont even get the chance of life,like your baby did.just thank god,please

  • The baby IS fine? What are you trying to prove? AT least they didn't reuse it

  • "You can't pick the suction off the floor" the doctor didn't know that?

  • omg this is teribule

  • NEGLIGENCE? Are you serious right now? So somebody dropped something THAT WAS NOT REUSED ON YOUR BABY. Big fucking deal.  OMG. I'd hate to be this kid. He's gonna be The Boy in the Bubble the first time he skins his knee.

  • All four of my children were delivered via C-section....this looked to be pretty routine. Suction isn't even used anymore, unless deemed necessary. The only thing that is off, would be the picking up of the dropped bulb, then re-handling the baby......

  • Perception is everything here. What the parents and some of the people who responded saw was something completely different than what I saw. I am a labour delivery nurse and this baby was not in any distress - breathing on his own and coughing to clear his airways. Stimulation ( the rubbing you see), is a normal process. If anything, he may have been suctioned too much. From what I can see here, this was a pretty typical c-section delivery. Perfectly beautiful and healthy baby.

  • @vinnedds This was my fifth child, all C-sections and the other 4 did not have this gurgling or staff dropping things on the floor and handling the baby.

  • @cgregory67 OMG! Do people make mistakes in healthcare? I thought all healthcare workers were free of error :/

  • @cgregory67 I agree ...but it looked and sounded like it may have been students...one did tell the other that they couldn't pick the bulb syringe off of the floor.

    They did look a bit fumbly...however I would be careful complaining if everything turned out ok...there's already word around that hospitals are not allowing recording of deliveries.

  • @cgregory67 ok i understand your concerns BUT it wasnt staff DROPPING THINGS it was one nurse that dropped A thing and come on is your house 100% germ free along with your car, clothes ETC. and everyone in the family do you put your kids in a bubble or walk behind them every where they go and spray dissinfectent on everything before they touch it i doubt it .what the nurse did was wrong but it wasnt going to kill the baby

  • @vinnedds So on a typical day you see people at your hospital dropping things and picking it up and attempting to reuse it without cleaning it or there hands? If this is typical i don't want to go to your hospital. I'm glad i have one of the best hospitals in the Country and my mother works there and thats definitly the place i'll go when i have a child.

  • @vinnedds I am also a labour and delivery nurse and I saw the same thing too. Baby is moving adequately, clearing well and I don't see any kind of distress here.

  • @vinnedds I agree with you just one thing the nurse that dropped the suction bulb and picked it up should have been told to to step out and take off the gloves that touched the floor wash his/her hands and put on new gloves and should have known not to pick it up off the floor in the first place

  • Would it be weird to say that the baby is a really pretty color?

  • ur baby was breathing just fine! ur video title made me feel like i was about to witness a tragedy! it is common for babies born by c section to have a difficult time breathing for like a day cuz they their lungs didn't get to squeeze the water out like babies born naturally that pass through the birth canal that's all !!!!

  • they needed to get the baby breathing as a priority no time for worrying about something dropped its irrelevant as u only have a small window of opportunity , get on with it and get his lungs working is no1

  • This was not bad at all. They didn't reuse the dropped suction bulb.If anything, there were too many people working on this baby. Two is enough for this baby. Color, tone, and respirations were all normal for a c-section. And about sterility, c-section is concerned with the mother's incision site, not the baby. Does anyone think a vaginal birth is anywhere near sterile?

  • @sbyrd1969 yeah, who cares about staph...

  • They never used the suction again after they dropped it you idiots! You can clearly see in the video they threw it out. They got another one. This Mom should be damn happy they saved her struggling baby.

  • Comment removed

  • all its o.k normal

  • And c section babies have more amniotic fluid cause they are not squeezed through the birth canal. That helps baby lose more amniotic fluid from their lungs.

  • They were rough to keep him awake and breathing! That's why they kept jiggling him. All newborns with breathing problems get the same treatment.

  • @colleb95 No he is talking about the way they were handling the baby and dropping devices and attempting to use it without cleaning it and also there hands, germs, ew. Maybe in the ghetto thats how its done but not in a decent sterile place.

  • I think the doctors were being too rough with the baby.

  • omg they do not know what they are doing! yea dont pick that stuff up off the ground. poor thing, he should be turned on his side or somethin they have him layed back gagging and chokein! he could have all that in his lungs and get very sick. they didnt kno how to suction that stuff out and just ughhhh i cant even explain how many things they did wrong.

  • @DawnLiKESDiNORawrs OMG Noob are you only watching that are u gay?

  • @DawnLiKESDiNORawrs how old are you? If you can't make better comments than this, you have no business posting. I truely believe You Tube needs to create a site for the kids to use. Far too many are jumping in to a thread and saying such childish things or creating those annoying 'thumbs up if' threads that have nothing to do with the vid, just the ego maniac kids seeking the popular 'it's all about me'.

  • they look like student doctors to me, groping and grabbing the baby, etc.... wouldn't want any of them around my baby... sorry, I know they have to learn the ropes, but not with my child. poor baby, I'm glad he was okay, but that was a very rough welcome into the world. if I have to have a c-section, I'd insist on baby having skin to skin with it's dad, if not me.

  • @onidodoonimoimoi They have to catch him because they are filled with water because they just butt out of the Kwame so they have him on the neck catchier otherwise slip them out and you know what happens):

  • i had a c-sec and i don't remember having that many doc's nurses handling my son this made me cry poor guy... after he started crying they should have gave him to u....

  • I don't blame you, I just heard one person said You can't picked up from the floor twice!! that's what I call a real professional!!!

  • I would feel freaked out, too!!! They give your poor baby such stress!!

  • Was the dad behind the camera? how come they didn't answer his question? ? he said ''why do you guys lay him on his back when he gurgaling like that? why not on his stomach?'' and i kno they heard because it was quiet and one doctor looked at him then didnt say anything... that aside can all you wannabe doctors shut the fuck up.. thank you

  • That helper who is holding the oxygen seems to be a clutz and should not be in the birthing rooms at all. He doesn't seem to know even the basics of health care. Hospital floors are probably the filthiest floors on earth and carry more germs and microbial mish mash than any other floors. To drop something on the floor and then pick it up and put it anywhere near the baby's environment was just criminal. Defend him all you want but he was negligent to say the least.

  • As a baby-My 2nd Daughter the biggest at birth with high apgars. I had to suction her nose out alot with a bulb syringe as a baby as her nose would sometimes have a build up of liquid.1 nasal passage felt more narrow then the other. I suctioned out her nose so she slept better & made it easier for her to drink her bottles.2nd Daughter snores in her sleep & breathes with her mouth open in her sleep.She has big tonsils.Her Dad had his adenoids out at 3. Her Dads Dad had his tonsils out as a child.

  • Your Son is gorgeous!

    My 1st baby girl was 7 pounds 1 oz at birth with apgars of 7/9. My Son was 7 pounds and 4 oz with apgars of 8/9. My 3rd child-A 2nd girl was 7 pounds 13 ounces with apgars of 9/9. My 4th child a 3rd girl was 5 pounds 6 ounces and apgars of 9/9. My biggest baby followed by my smallest baby had the highest apgars and both were pink at birth with my 1dt girl all pale and my Son with some pale skin tone at birth with bluish hands and feet-when warmed up his skin was olive.

  • You "are an overprotective parent and are freaking out." Looked pretty normal to me -good job on the healthy kid!

    Routine suctioning is no longer needed.  The kid had a strong APGAR. I'm not sure why people are upset about this video?

    What was the kids heart rate? Pulse Ox... You really can't dismiss their agressiveness until you look at the whole picture -this is one snippet we are seeing.

  • @heathermarenj because they picked up equipment that fell on the floor then handed it to someone else and they both touched the baby. not sanitary and u even hear the other guy say u cant do that

  • This looks more like CRUELTY to babies, than a medical team working to HELP this lil newborn.

  • Nem tették vissza a baba szájába mert kidobták, miután leesett a földre! 0:48 másodperc...

  • the person doing the suction didnt seem to care if they were doing it properly or not, and i cant believe they were going to put it in the baby's mouth after it dropped on the floor!!! unbelievable!!!

  • well at leat the second one who touched it was because he stoped the idiot from using it on your sweet gift

  • yeh how silly. give him a rub down n lay him side on at least to let the fluid run out properly. i'd definitely give them an urgent feedback to the admin.!

    

  • The person who dropped the bulb was definitely a student of some kind, he was unfamiliar with the equipment and is given close direction by other staff. Vigorous suction is not helpful, it can trigger a vagal response that can cause the baby's heart rate to drop. That is B for Bad. If your baby was in any distress it would not have been crying and they would have been bagging

    To the uninitiated medical procedures can appear wildly callous; you should watch an intubation to see what I mean.

  • Como esta hoje o bebe!

  • That's disguesting and unsanitary, you should've said something

  • poor baby

  • the baby seems to be in shock a little thats why they bagged him :)

  • I am SHOCKED AND DISGUSTED. The staff seems to almost enjoy this baby's struggles to breathe. This video should be shown to the hospital administrator. Lord knows how many babies suffered at the incompetent medical care.

  • I agree with you, what a staff of COMPLETE MORONS!

  • @searby1 that guy DEFINITELY had no clue & did you see how close he was to baby's soft spot, he was definitely handling the baby rough & yes indeed he got scared when he realized dad was behind him..recording nonetheless!

  • oh my gosh that baby sounds like he is drowning! I would be freaking out!

  • what a bunch of incompetent apes. Their cleaning and massaging is just getting in the way of the proper suctioning. They act like they never handled a baby before. I wouldn"t trust them with my cats.

  • Routine suctioning has been dismissed by research years ago, it's only the States where they still do this. Your baby looked fine with an apgar of at least 8. He needed a tad of stimulation if anything.

  • The one thing I would make an issue out of was when the resident/intern, or whatever he was (possibly the RT?), picked up the bulb suction from the floor and placed it back on the table. You can hear the senior say a couple of times not to pick it up and that he cant put it up on the table...the nurse immediately chucked it but you are correct that he had contaminated the area and exposed the baby. A behaviour that would HAVE to be brought up and corrected.

  • The baby is pink and vigorous and the rubbing they are doing stimulates the baby to breathe as well as drying him. He has to be on his back for access - gurgling a little at first and the resident is obv. learning, not terribly efficient in bulb suction but the baby was able to clear secretions on his own. The THING they were putting on his face is an oxygen mask and the senior indicated to raise it up because baby is breathing on his own and didnt need the extra pressure only a little O2.

  • Did you show this video to the hospital???

  • i don't think your son really needed the PPV - just suctioning looks like it would've been sufficient, he was crying and pink with good muscle tone - just a bit gurgly, if you listen closely - it sounds like it was more of a teaching exercise for the medical student! wouldn't have hurt your boy but in the great scheme of things he was fine

  • My lord...I would of been right in there! stupid freakn' doctors these days, serious I know more and never went to school for 7 years.

  • @lyssaj28 No you DO NOT know more. This should be a clear fact that shouldn't need to be stated out loud.

  • @mustamissdher Look, I have been serious Ill for several years now, and I was operated on and almost died, twice! I have seen specialist after specialist and have caught them in thier stupidity, and called them on it! So don't react without the fact mustamissdher, thank you;_)

  • @lyssaj28 I will react by the fact that you stated you are NOT a physician so you do NOT know more than they do. Having actually BEEN in a hospital and interacted with MD's does not mean you KNOW more than they do. My statement had nothing what so ever to do with whether or not doctors make mistakes or struggle with diagnosis and treatment plans from time to time. Thier mistakes are considerably more serious than other careers, however, and they need to be held accountable for it. U R WELCOME

  • @mustamissdher I am a ,Veterinarian went to University for 8 years & Vets. learn about all animals, not just 1 human body so yes, I do know alot more than say you do, so please quit attacking someone that has only made a inquiry on a subject. God Bless:)

  • @lyssaj28 You make a bold narcisistic statement (I know more and never went to school...for 7 years) Rather poorly put...you either Never went to school OR you didn't go to school for 7 years. Either way it indicated you had less education yet are still smarter than those "stupid doctors" which is a predjudicial insult to the entire distinguished profession. THEN you want to justify your loathing & your statments because of your experiences as a patient? Now you are supposedly a DVM or Phd?

  • @lyssaj28 You might follow your own advice and be more careful on insulting others since you know ABSOLUTELY nothing about ME and HOW much I know. As you stated "I do know a lot more than say you do". If you had actually been READING my statements I never made any bold claims of being more intelligent than anyone -even you. However, it does seem to be more and more apparent to me. I don't consider your orig statement to BE an inquiry but a pointed attack on an excellent profesion & responded so

  • @mustamissdher God Bless you:) xo.

  • NO IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS HOLDING THAT THING OVER HIS FACE TO HARD, HE WAS STARTING TO CRY AND COME WRITE AND SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF HIM, I THINK THATS HORRIBLE, THAT MAN DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING AT ALL, AND THEN HE NOTICED THE DAD WAS BEHIND HIM AND HE TOOK IT OFF HIS FACE

  • Actually, this looked pretty routine (my plans are to become a neonatal nurse, so yes, I know what I am talking about). They did their job correctly, assessing the baby and letting the baby naturally clear his lungs. I have watched two of my four children be born NOT breathing, and I mean turn blue, full bagging, placing breathing tube blue. Your child is fine and they did their job, minus dropping the bulb suction. That I would be ticked about-not the rest.

  • what was their doing?

    i think their dont know what their doing!

  • that was a negligence!

  • They almost look like they aren't sure what they are doing!

  • What about rolling him to the side or take him in arms and have him on his tummy and let the gravitation do its gentle work??

  • I am so upset for you watching this! I would have wanted to push them out of the way to help him get breathing himself! Jeesh, thanks for sharing though, he is beautiful!

  • Horrible doctors..ROUGH, insensitive, mean and smacking the baby around..WHAT TRAMA 4 your first minute on Earth..Poor kid

  • that little chunky guy's cute :)

  • ok as a nurse this is disturbing to watch...they should have turned the baby on his left side and suctioned him...and to use dirty utensils that would not have flown with me. you should report every one of them to the board of directors at the hospital but i am glad that he is ok.

  • first u keep it upside down, then use plunger, these guys are ammature

  • baby was never "bagged" just a little blow by, stimulation is necessary, no shouldnt have picked up bulb but thats about it...and maybe he was learning, but no one knows everything from books, takes experience and nothing went wrong here...and yes this is part of my job

  • I hope that satff member lost His or hers Job.

  • well shit! The baby sounds like he's drowning in the fluid. Why don't they lay him on his side!

  • Hospitals each have different protocol, but the operating room is a sterile environment, probably far more sterile than your loving hands, did you not touch him?

  • Im 20 weeks pregnant with my 4th child, I would love for a safe home water birth. I had all 3 of mine by VD in a hospital, but it was my 1st born in a hospital ER-which was the only baby of mine that ended up with mild TTN-breathing distress for less then 24 hours. Because my 1st baby was the only baby in which AROM/ARM was used as a way to deliver her by VD. I do not consider her VD birth a natural birth.

    My 2nd and 3rd babies were my only natural VD's

  • This baby did not need the aggressive suctioning and bagging he received. He was already pink and crying (though a bit gurgly) before they even dried him! Best thing to do would have been postural drainage with skin-to-skin on his mother's chest (warmer than the rest of her body) which would have been far less traumatic for the poor little guy. Total overkill - when all they had to do was observe him while with his mother. Spare us from unnecessary heroics!

  • @alisonbr14 they didn't bag him. and he was gurgly because of the stuff in his lungs. hence the suctioning

  • @alisonbr14 Except she was in a c section therefor getting her gut stapled..

  • @alisonbr14 better then risking brain damage

  • Funny since a CNM is a Nurse-Practitioner...all I was saying is that I've seen hundreds of babies come into this world and I know a sick baby from a healthy one working it's fluids out. Not a pissing contest (I know a paramedic has more emergency training than me). And I agree with Thil, I'm glad this child is healthy.

  • sorry you had idiots working on your baby...he was transitioning just fine, needed a little coaxing but you can clearly hear him working out his own fluids. And, whoever asked "why do you lay them on their backs when they're gagging like that" is the smartest person in the room! Baby would do much better if tilted on his side a bit to work out the fluids...and the bulb on the floor, don't even get me started. yikes! Glad your sweet baby is alright.

  • Comment removed

  • The bulb syringe was dropped and was not reused. The team worked to dry the baby and clear the airway-EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. As far as the infant gurgling...he's breathing, pink, moving extremities...all good. Once they received a new bulb syringe-within seconds, the rest of the airway was suctioned

  • the fathers instincts were right in this case, and the "do you want to trim the cord" comment was merely to divert his focus on something else, and as we can see, to get the camera off the workers. I don't know the reasons behind your c-section, but as a VBAC home birth mom, I pray you will be able to have safer, more naturally attended births in the future. Thanks for sharing!

  • the vaginal canal is not "dirty" it is certainly colonised with the mothers own bacteria, but the baby is not harmed by it. the floor on the other hand, especially in a medical environment is filthy. The person did not listen to the one saying don't pick it up, and there is the problem. Respect for authority is imperative in newborn and maternity care. The baby can "work" the mucous out, if they're not on their back. The back lying "observation" position, is more for protecting the hospital.

  • As a nursery nurse who has attended many deliveries, there is nothing wrong in this video except using the syringe after it was dropped, They are following protocal of Neonatal resuscitation. The baby is never placed on the stomach because you need to be able to see the monitor breathing,(must see chest), color of lips, and have assess to give oxygen or further help breathing. They did suction baby properly ,itakes a few minutes for baby to adapt. please be reassured the right thing was done.

  • Regardless if this baby was a product of a c section or not, Most babies are not born via c section (Thank God). And yes they have to go through a very dirty "birth canal"...

  • How about the post of "nigroid"??? Is that person really living in the 21st century?

  • Floor is dirty, but how about the birth canal? Do you think that's sterile? No way! Very full of germs. Regarding the suctioning, bulb suctioning being done well within 33 seconds of birth. This is all pretty standard. The baby has good color and good tone and is crying. The "gurgly" sounds are all pretty standard for a baby that's been living under water for the last nine months. So the dad wants to put the baby on his stomach? So how do you get to the airway?

  • I DID HEAR SOMEONE TELL HIM YOU CANT PICK IT UP OFF THE FLORR BUT HE DID ANYWAY AND HANDED IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. LETS JUST SAY I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THSI VIDEO WAS TRYING TO SHOW US. I THOUGHT EXACTLY WHAT HE WROTE BEFORE I EVEN READ IT. IT SEEMED TO ME LIKE THE BABY WAS STRUGGLING TO CATCH A BREATHE. YOU WOULD THINK THAT HE WAS GAGGING ON HIS OWN SALIVA OR WHATEVER IS IN THE BABIES MOUTH WHEN THEY COME OUT. WHAT DO I KNOW THOUGH I NOT A DOCTOR OR ANYTHING.

  • There is NO excuse for poor sterile technique. Shame on these hospitals who did such horrendous things - exposing these fragile infants to infection and death! I have no kind thoughts for them, being a professional myself!

  • I agree that there should have been more suctioning. As far as them wiping him off, that is very important to do and should be done immediately. Babies cannot shiver. When a person shivers, this is one way the body will try to warm up. Therefore, since a baby can't shiver to warm up, they need to wipe all the liquids off as soon as possible otherwise evaporation will cause the baby to become cold. That staff member who dropped the suction bulb should not have picked it up.

  • at least the baby has a large penis. that will impress the ladies.

  • they should place child upside down and on to its side it is obviously on her back idiots all of this moron I would sue the monkeys taking care of this child the negroid man is holding the babys head really heard and not giving oxigen

  • @rddbba negroid man? LOL

  • they should place child upside down and on to its side it is obviously on her back idiots all of this moron I would sue the monkeys taking care of this child

  • they took waaaay too long to suck the fluids out AND they didn't clear them airways enough. You see the baby struggles to breathe still, poor thing and what a bunch of incompetents.

  • Way to ignore Dad... "Why do you lay them on their back like that when they're gagging?" I was thinking the same thing. And holy-over-stimulation! Is it REALLY necessary to have FOUR people vigorously scrubbing him while he's breathing like that?! An oxygen mask isn't going to help much when his lungs still have fluid in them and gravity is working against it!

    I'm glad he's ok!

  • is 5 doctors/nurses really necessary?

  • @1EmoSam Yeah, depending on the situation..sometimes there are even more!

  • Your baby has been GORGEOUS since before and after birth!

  • My 3rd baby born rapid only nostril flared twice at birth then she took a whole bottle not long after birth, moaned for 12 hours, according to the midwife with some sneezing, My Daughter in my room, back out into the corridor with the midwife on a portable heart monitor, as moaning can be a sign of a heart problem, and is a sign of TTN, then back in my room again. Dropped temp 3 times in winter, temps brought back up, no need for 02, no humidicrib, no heated blankets & no NNU care. She was fine.

  • Was the baby really not breathing? if it was a emergency than maybe they were concerned about keeping the baby breathing that they didn't even realize, the pace that they were working was fast so idthink they would of diliberatly done it (knownin they were being taped etc) and they were completely focused in on the newborn. idk glad everything worked out for the best,..

  • agreed with previous comment..should have turn the baby's head sideway to make the suction easier..and should suck more!

    i cant imagine how you felt when taking this shot cuz the bubbling sound really makes me worried a bit..

    but i'm glad ur son is now ok :)

  • Those bulb syringes they are using to suction baby out came in very handy for me, when my 2nd daughter a healthy newborn came down with sinus infections at 2 months onwards, her nose would fill up with liquid snot, sometimes after 1 suction of both liquid snot filled nostrils after giving her a drink I would then have to suction both her nostrils out a 2nd time shortly after, so she could fall asleep. 2nd girl was very prone to repeated bouts of throat infections under 18 months old.

  • cgregory Im glad your son is doing great, Im thankful my 1st girl old is healthy after given basic NNU care for some minor breathing issues & 1 high white cell count from mild TTN & was well less then 24 hours after birth. Son born at a different Hospital from the Hospital 2nd Girl was born at which was the Hospital 1st girl had been given basic NNU care at. Son had caring nurses during a brief stay in SCBU being heated up in a tent for a few hours, we discharged Son home at 24 hours old.

  • Nash. Im not upset at the comment about my baby you intentionally posted on this video just to hurt me. I just checked your profile I think your a youtube troll because I just read alot of hate comments left for you by other youtubers about how your personally attack other people on youtube. You can delete the hate comments other people left for you on your profile. But that does not change the fact people did infact leave you hate comments for attacking people on youtube.

  • Nash, for the 1 moody Asian Nurse giving my baby a standard of care on the date she was born that any Nurse could have done, since it was not emergency life saving care, any number of decent Nurses could have replaced the moody Asian Nurse in giving my baby the standard of care she needed the date she was born. The moody Asian Nurse was either just moody, tired & overworked or both, meaning she was focused on being moody to a Parent instead of properly engaging in babies care.

  • Comment removed

  • would turning the baby on its side and suctioning be better? the guy at the head, to me doesnt look into the mouth properly when he is suctioning. When he first tries to suction the nose his hand is knocked away by someone else and he doesnt look in control of the head as it moves from side to side while he tries to suction. Perhaps im wrong?!

  • My son is now 1 years old, and seems to be ok. I remember thinking stop wiping him off and clear his airway! I still feel the suctioning was poorly done and my baby was at risk of staff infection of whatever could be growing on the floor when that intern dropped the suction bulb, then picked it up, and continued to handle my baby with the same hand.

    This happened at Hillcrest Hospital, Cleveland Ohio.

  • @cgregory67 I totally agree with you! I am by no means an expert or know anything about this BUT before I read your description I was yelling at them to help the poor baby breath! :) Glad he is doing well! God is so good to us!!

  • @Mammouofboys THAST WHAT I SAID. BEFORE I EVEN KNEW WHY THE VIDEO WAS POSTED I WAS LIKE WTH. HE CANT BREATHE HELP HIM MORE AND FASTER GEESH.

  • I can't beleive he didn't change his glove after picking up the suction bulb up off the floor!!

  • @cgregory67 Was that a student in there who dropped it on the floor? Because we have had troubles with students in training before, they are not adequetely trained before being allowed to work on a person. We no longer allow students to touch our children or us. I am glad to hear he is ok now.

  • @momtoafew I assume it was a student, I coudnt imagine otherwise.....but not really sure.

  • @cgregory67 It appears they replaced the bulb with a new, however if they didnt it was very unethical but given the situation if there was no other bulb around it was better to use the dirty one than to let him choke to death, but you should know that by laying him on his back helps more oxygen reach his lungs and turning him on his stomach would be more harmful than helpful

  • @cgregory67 Oh for crying out loud,every one is law suit happy these days,just looking for an excuse to condemn someone else for any reason,Then theres this dork,asking a team of Dr.s and Nurses a dumbass question,these people deliver babies all day long,and dumbass is gonna ask them why dont they lay the baby on its stomach instead of its back?Why the fuck dont your dumbass go wait in the lobby,and get the fuck out of the Dr.s way?you freaking Dunce.You are freaked out.

  • @cgregory67 i noticed everything you were saying before i even read your description about what was happening.....if that was my child i woud have been freaking out on them and called them out when they dropped something on the floor then handled my baby with same hand..did you show this to a personel???and i dont think they were suctioning ur baby like they should have...poor baby congrads : )

  • The parents had every right to question what was going on

    with their new baby and what treatment was being done.

    Dr Fischbein you are scaring the new patients here not the

    parents!! She can ask all the questions and comment all she

    wants and so do the other people on here. I would not care

    what anyone says she has the right to say what she wants.

  • Also, regarding interns, there is a medical standard one must pass in order to get to a higher position. This situation should have prompted at least the proctor or higher precept in order to delegate synergy. I'm glad, despite my opinion of a very sloppy fetal prep, that everything turned out well.

  • Every hospital has different protocols. As an EMT-P ARNP, I can tell you that there are several issues: You asked about having the baby on his back. That's for access to the airway. Full control of an airway is to initiate an endotracheal tube for the infant - a last resort. The mask is a standard. In MY opinion, the airway, with the gurgling was not sufficient; there should have been further suctioning. If this were a medical/trauma patient, there would have been more suctioning.

  • baby was working out his fluid just fine...he wouldn't have needed to be intubated anyways. Yes, had he not been breathing, being on his back would be appropriate but this baby is pink, attempting to cry and has good muscle tone. Intubation would have been incredibly unnecessary. A side tilt would have helped him expectorate the fluid and transition more quickly (I'm Registered Nurse, Certified Nurse Midwife)

  • @jennymillerRN @jennymillerRN Thanks for the reply, I was the one asking why……I know my first born son acquired a staph infection before we got him home…..nobody even noticed until my wife pointed the patch of bumpy skin under his armpit on his first well baby visit. 

  • @jennymillerRN Read what I wrote several more times...I clearly said intubation is a last resort. Any response thereof was utterly redundant. Clearly more aggressive suctioning would have been nice. As both a paramedic, and a nurse practitioner, I don't find it a requirement to capitalize the title.

    Regardless of nitpicking, as stated before ...I'm glad this child is doing well.

  • @jennymillerRN Haha, a paramedic is the pinnacle of necessity for cardiac/pulmonary emergencies - Let alone that guy(?) is a nurse practitioner, which considerably trumps CNM's...and yeah, I understood exactly that thil was saying one would tube AS A LAST RESORT.  Silly nurses need to read more and rush to limelight less..

    Also, a NP like thil can run an ER, so I'd not go into a pissing contest on a CNM vs. CCEMT-P/NP type debate - just sayin

  • @Mattamedic a CNM is a nurse practitioner ....

  • @Thilindel That is the strangest thing I have ever heard. If you are an EMT you should know that gurgling is normal in the neonate. They just came out of a water filled environment. If left to their own devices they would be able to extract the fluid naturally. There was no need for a ET, the baby was pink and vigorous, and should have been given to his mother to naturally warm, and initiate bonding, not be roughed up so excessively. He was NOT a medical trauma patient. He was a newborn.

  • Comment removed

  • To the parents: were you informed ahead of time that this many interns would be working on your baby? The intern trying to clear the baby's airway was not qualified to do so. He also ignored the doctor when he was told not to pick the bulb syringe, much less placing it near the baby after it was retrieved off of the floor. Had this been my baby, I would have asked the doctor to step in to clear my baby's airway.

  • This poor baby is struggling to breathe and is in obvious distress. The interns continue doing each of their "jobs" while the baby continues to struggle. This is unacceptable. I feel bad for what this baby had to go through during his first few minutes of life.

  • they cut the babys lifeline as it struggles to breathe

    "The motive in the training of current doctors is probably linked to harvesting the placenta for valuable nutrients and hormones and stem cells trapped in the placenta. The early umbilical cord clamping is highly unethical, if not criminal to harvest the nutrients and hormones and sell them to the highest bidder. Wise and competently trained doctors do not clamp the cord whether pulsating or not for a good 12 minutes"

  • @khakipearls - you talk as if you are either a medical or legal professional .. and yet, your channel page has nothing of any medical/legal value regarding this issue. Your statement is only your opinion - and not based on fact! Stop scaring these new parents here!!

    Dr. Stuart Fischbein: Delayed Cord Clamping

    watch?v=WWCOzkSe85M

  • Wow, I can definitely see why you were freaked out! Ever second feels like an eternity and yeah, these nurses/doctors (whatever) seemed clumsy and totally inexperienced.

  • THat's their job! They get paid to make sure they clean the ariways for the newborn to breathe better. They aren't doing any miracles or performing any great feat! If they don't like their job then they should leave it for others that like doing it.

  • Negative. Not making any comments on the video itself, rather on the idea that poor care (not saying it was) is better than none at all. They are trained, paid, and trusted to give good quality care.

    The comment you posted should be reserved for people complaining about bystanders or untrained persons stopping to help. Not by on-duty medical personnel held to a standard of care.

    Again, no comment on the video itself. Beyond my scope.

  • Nash You said maybe they should have left my baby & see what my reaction would have been. You are as cold natured as the insecure nurse on duty. To say they should have just left my baby sick without treatment. Your as cold as the insecure nurse wanting to make me feel like something bad was going to happen to my mildy sick but stable baby. After I said her foot was cute by saying I would start a code blue if I touched her foot.

  • Nash I regret not discharging myself after my infants birth & not witholding myself from short visits to see my infant until after her day of birth, as never to have come across folks like the RN on who was ticked I was allowed to vist my mildy sick but stable infant in the NNU for which the RN provided my 1st infant with a basic standard of care & not life saving care, you share the RN's same cold attitude of lack of respect for life of a loved one & people who care about life of a loved one.

  • Nash I birthed a healthy 2nd girl at the Hospital my 1st daughter had been given basic NNU care & not life saving care in the NNU. After getting good midwives I got a rude midwife who saw I was feeding my 2nd girl formula & said to me I was damaging her stomach giving her formula, Expressed BM is not good like Breast Feeds & left my 2nd girl undressed in a freezing room in Winter after she took her temp which came back low & walked off ! Hospital I birthed my son at & not my 2 girls was great

  • The person who is supposed to be suctioning the fluid out of the baby's nose and mouth clearly is an intern who was not ready to be there

  • gorgeous baby, my 1st baby a girl was delivered by AROM during an internal check with my rapid birth in an ER when she got to the big hospital she had some fast breathing (rib retractions) and due to the high white cell count they thought she had sepsis, they asked if I gave birth at home what went wrong and told me I would start a code blue, with the pulse oximeter on her foot all because all I said her feet were cute, annoyed that i came to visit her to look at her face.

  • WOW!

    I am VERY sorry this happened. So how is she today?

    She is in my thoughts and prayers.

  • ok, were they all like interns or smething? Very incompetent in my opinion...
