HEAD TO TOE ASSESSMENT
• The behavior of the newborn demonstrates
neurological status.
• In general the neonate appears drowsy, calm,
quiet and sleepy most of the day and night time.
Note the sign of irritability and degree of alertness.
• Assess the level of satisfaction after feeding,
comfortable with rocking and cuddling, is
awakened by loud noise, disturbed by any stimuli.
• After assessing the neonate for appearance and
behavior continue with head to toe examination as
given below:
Head-
• Contour of the head.
• Check for forceps mark, encephalocele etc.
• Caput succedaneum (edema of soft scalp
tissue )
• Uncomplicated CEPHALOHEMATOMA may be
kept under observation.
• Assess for MICROCEPHALY.
• Assess for MACROCEPHALY.
• Palpate the skull for sutures and fontanels,
noting size, shape, molding or any abnormal
closure.
lung_sounds_-_crackles.mp3
• Presence of peristaltic sounds, diminished air
entry on the left side with displacement of
heart sounds to the right suggest midiasternal
shift commonly caused by CONGENITAL
DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA (CDH).
Heart
• Neonates with cardiac abnormalities may not
exhibit any variations in heart sounds in the
first few days till ductus is open.
However, before discharge of the
baby palpation of femoral pulses and
assessment of cardiomegaly should be done.
• Presence of transient cyanosis on crying,
breastfeeding, straining should warn on
further assessment.
