NRP 8TH EDITION TEST ANSWERS UPDATED| SOLVED

Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds. When

is placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended? 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? In the hospital and immediately available

What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement within the

trachea? 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? 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? 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)? 0

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? 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? Cardiac

monitor

When are chest compressions indicated? When the heart rate remains less than

60 bpm after at least 30 seconds of PPV that moves the chest, preferably through an

alternative airway
