,Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement
for 30 seconds. When is placement of an endotracheal tube
strongly recommended? - correct answer-The baby's heart rate
remains less than 100 bpm and is not increasing.
During a delivery, when and where should a person with
intubation skills be available? - correct answer-In the hospital
and immediately available
What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube
placement within the trachea? - correct answer-Demonstration
of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and a rapidly increasing heart
rate
You are resuscitating a critically ill newborn whose heart rate is
20 bpm. The baby has been intubated and the endotracheal
tube insertion depth is correct. You can see chest movement
with PPV and hear bilateral breath sounds, but the colorimetric
CO2 detector does not turn yellow. What is the likely reason for
this? - correct answer-Low cardiac output
According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition
algorithm, at what point during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor
, recommended to assess the baby's heart rate? - correct
answer-When an alternative airway is inserted
What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a
preterm newborn with an estimated gestational age of 32 weeks
(estimated birth weight of 1.4 kg)? - correct answer-0
What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a
preterm newborn with an estimated gestational age of 28
weeks? - correct answer-00
Even brief interruptions of chest compressions may significantly
reduce their effectiveness, but it is also important to assess the
need to continue chest compressions. What is the preferred way
to assess the heart rate during chest compressions? - correct
answer-Briefly interrupt chest compressions every 60 seconds
to assess the heart rate using the cardiac monitor.
Your team is resuscitating a newborn at birth. The heart rate is
low and the baby has poor perfusion. Which is the preferred
method to assess the heart rate? - correct answer-Cardiac
monitor
