ANSWERS ALL SOLVED SOLUTION
Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds.
When is placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended?
a. The baby's heart rate remains less than 100 bpm and is not increasing.
b. The baby's heart rate is between 60 and 100 bpm and the heart rate is increasing.
c.The baby's heart rate is >100 bpm and the baby is beginning to breathe.
d. The baby's heart rate is >100 bpm and oxygen saturation is less than the
target range. - CORRECT ANSWER a

available?
a. In the hospital and immediately available
b. In the delivery room or operating room at every birth

b. Auscultation of bilateral breath sounds and no air entry heard over the abdomen
c.Demonstration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and a rapidly increasing heart
rate
d. Absence of crying and no abdominal distension - CORRECT ANSWER c
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?
a. The endotracheal tube is not in the trachea.
b. Excessive ventilation pressure.
c.Epinephrine contamination.
d. Low cardiac output. - CORRECT ANSWER d
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?
a. After chest compressions are performed for at least 2 minutes
b. When an alternative airway is inserted
