VERSION
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 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
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

VERSION
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 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? - 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
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.
