Answers 2025/26 EXAM
Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds. When is
placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended? - ANSWER 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? -
ANSWER In the hospital and immediately available
What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement within the trachea?
- ANSWER Demonstration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and a rapidly increasing

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? - ANSWER 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? -
ANSWER 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)? - ANSWER
0
Even brief interruptions of chest compressions may significantly reduce their effectiveness, but

way to assess the heart rate during chest compressions? - ANSWER 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? - ANSWER
Cardiac monitor
