NRP Lesson 4 (Compressions)
Chest compressions are indicated when the heart rate remains below ____beats per minute, despite
____ seconds of effective positivepressure ventilation -
☑️60
30
Once the heart rate is below ___ beats per minute, the oximeter may stop working. You should
increase the oxygen to _____% until return of the oximeter reading to guide you in the appropriate
adjustment of delivered oxygen. -
☑️60
100
During chest compressions, the breathing rate is ____ breaths per minute and the compression rate
is ___ compressions per minute. This equals ___ "events" per minute. One cycle of 3 compressions
and 1 breath takes __ seconds -
☑️30
90
120

Are chest compressions indicated in the following senario:
A newborn is apneic and bradycardic. Her airway is cleared, and she is stimulated. At 30 seconds,
positive-pressure ventilation is begun. At 60 seconds, her heart rate is 80 beats per minute -
☑️NO
Positive-pressure ventilation (should) continue
In the following senario, what whould be the correct action:
A newborn is apneic and bradycardic. She remains apneic, despite having her airway cleared, being
stimulated, receiving 30 seconds of positive-pressure ventilation, and ensuring that all ventilation
techniques are optimal. Nevertheless, her heart rate is only 40 beats per minute -
☑️Chest compression coordinated with PPV
Approximately how long does a 120 event cycle of compressions and PPV last -
☑️45-60 seconds
The heart rate is 40 beats per minute as determined by auscultation, and the oximeter has stopped
working. Chest compressions have begun, but the baby is still receiving room air oxygen. What
should be done about oxygen delivery? -
☑️Increase FiO2 to 100%
During the compression phase of chest compressions, the sternum compresses the heart, which
causes blood to be pumped from the heart into the _____. In the release phase, blood enters the
heart from the _____. -
