PY - 2013 T2 - Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs, 7e AB - Newborns are examined immediately after birth to check for major abnormalities and to help ensure that the transition to extrauterine life is without difficulty. The newborn infant should undergo a complete physical examination within 24 hours of birth. Perform the examinations that cause the least amount of disturbance first. It is easier to listen to the heart and lungs first when the infant is quiet. Warming the stethoscope before use decreases the likelihood of making the infant cry.
