NRP 8th Edition
1. What is the single most important and effective step in neonatal
resuscita- tion?: Ventilation of the newborn's lungs
2. Abnormal Transition Findings: -Irregular Breathing, absent breathing,
or rapid breathing
-Slow or fast heart rate
-Decreased Muscle Tone
-Pale Skin or Blue Skin
-Low oxygen saturation
-Low blood pressure
3. NRP algorithm- First Step: Antenatal
Counselling Team Debriefing
Equipment Check
4. After the birth of the baby, what do you ask?: 1. Term Gestation?
2. Good Tone?
3. Breathing or crying?
5. FIVE INITIAL STEPS:
If you answer NO to any of the three questions (term, tone, breathing) what
do you do?: Warm
Dry
Stimulat
e
Position airway
Suction if
needed
6. Apnea or gasping? HR <100bpm= NO with laboured breathing/cyanosis:
Po- sition airway, suction if needed
Pulse oximeter
Oxygen if
needed
Consider CPAP
7. Apnea or gasping? HR <100bpm= YES:
PPV Pulse Oximeter
Consider Cardiac Monitor
8. HR STILL less than 100bpm= YES: Ensure adequate
ventilation Consider ETT or laryngeal mask
Cardiac Monitor
9. HR <60 bpm?: ETT or laryngeal
mask Chest compressions
