infant - CORRECT ANSWER >>>A young child, age 1 month to 1 year.
Neonate vitals - CORRECT ANSWER >>>HR- 90-180 beats/min
Respirations-30 to 60 breaths/min
Systolic Blood Pressure- 50 to 70 mm Hg
Temperature 98 to 100 *F
Tidal Volume 6-8 mL/kg increases to 10 to 15 mL/kg
Infancy vitals - CORRECT ANSWER >>>HR - 140-160/min
RV - 7-8 mL -> 10-15mL
RR - 40-60 -> 30-40
Systolic - 70-90mmHg

forceful.
Neonates are primarily nose breathers.

Rib cage of an infant is less rigid and the ribs sit horizontally. This explains the diaphragmatic
breathing (belly breathing) in infants.

the oral cavity, and the airway is proportionally shorter and narrower.
As a result, airway obstruction is common in infants than in adults or older children.
Due to the large size of the infant's occiput and the increased flexibility of the trachea, the
airway can easily be inadvertently blocked by incorrect positioning, either over-extension or
over-flexion.
barotrauma - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Ventilations that are too forceful can result in trauma from
pressure;
