onds. When is placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended?: -
When baby's HR remains less than 100 and is not increasing
2. During a delivery, when and where should a person with intubation skills be
available?: In the hospital and immediately available
3. What are the primary methods of confirming ETT placement within the
trachea?: Demonstration of CO2 detector and rapid increasing HR
4. You are resuscitating a critically ill newborn whose HR is 20bpm. The baby
has been intubated and ETT insertion depth is correct. You can see chest
movement with PPV and hear bilateral breath sounds, but the CO2 detector
does not turn yellow.: Low cardiac output
5. According to the algorithm, at what point during resuscitation is a cardiac
monitor recommended to assess the baby's HR?: When an alternative airway is
inserted
6. What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a preterm 32
weeks?: 0
7. Even brief interruptions of CPR 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 HR during CPR?: Briefly interrupt CPR
every 60 seconds to assess HR during CPR
8. Your team is resuscitating a newborn at birth. the HR is low and the baby has
poor perfusion. Which is the preferred method to assess HR?: Cardiac monitor
9. When are chest compressions indicated?: when the HR remains less than 60
bpm despite 30 seconds of PPV preferably through an alternative airway
10. After 60 seconds of PPV coordinated with CPR, the cardiac monitor shows
a HR of 70. What is your action?: stop chest compressions and continue PPV
11. What is the recommended depth of chest compressions?: one-third of the

, anterior posterior diameter of the chest
12. During CPR, which of the following is correct?: to coordinate compressions
and ventilations, the compressions and ventilations calls out one and two and three
and breathe
13. What is the approximate volume of flush after administering epinephrine
intravenously?: 3ml
14. The recommended dose of EPI?: .02 mg/kg (equal to .2ml/kg)
15. Administration of volume expanders indicate?: the baby's HR is not increas-
ing and there are signs of shock or a history of acute blood loss
- dose 10 ml/kg over 5-10 minutes
16. How soon after administration of IV EPI, should you pause and reassess
the baby's HR?: 60 seconds
