- 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 heart rate
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 ctor
detedoes not turn yellow. What is the likely
reason for this?- Answer Low cardiac output.

Even brief interruptions of chest compressions 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 heart rate during chest compressions?
- AnswerBriefly 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
When are chest compressions indicated?
- Answer When the heart rate remains less than 60 bpm after
at least 30 seconds of PPV that moves the chest, preferably through an alternative airway
After 60 seconds of PPV coordinated with chest compressions, the cardiac monitor indicates a heart
rate of 70 beats per minute. What is your next action?
- Answer Stop chest compressions and continue
PPV.
