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
