Which of the following statements about post-resuscitation care is true?
All babies with prenatal and intrapartum risk factors for resuscitation must be removed from their
mother's room and observed in a nursery setting.
When are chest compressions indicated?
When the heart rate remains less than 60 beats per minute after 30 seconds of positive-pressure
ventilation that moves the chest, preferably through an alternative airway.
What time frame should be used to administer intravenous epinephrine?
Rapid push, as quickly as possible
After chest compressions with coordinated ventilations are started, the heart rate should be assessed:
After 60 seconds
What is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions?
EKG monitoring is the preferred method for accessing heart rate during chest compressions
A baby required ventilation and chest compressions. After 60 seconds of chest compressions, the
electronic cardiac monitor indicates a heart rate of 70 beats per minute. What is your next action?
Stop chest compressions; continue positive-pressure ventilation.
.What is the ideal depth of chest compressions for a newborn?
One-third of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
Which of the following is the best indication for volume expansion after resuscitative efforts that
included intubation, chest compressions, and IV epinephrine?
The baby's heart rate remains 50 beats per minute after resuscitative efforts and pulses are weak.
.In most cases, who is (are) the usual and appropriate surrogate decision maker(s) for a newborn?
The newborn's parents
.A baby born at 36 weeks' gestation was apneic after birth and required positive-pressure ventilation
and oxygen supplementation in the delivery room. He continues to require supplemental oxygen after
birth. Which of the following statements is true?
His blood glucose level should be checked soon after resuscitation and then at regular intervals until
stable and normal.
A baby's heart rate does not increase after intubation and the breath sounds are louder on the right
side than the left side of the chest. Which of the following is a common cause of asymmetric breath
sounds in an intubated baby?
Endotracheal tube inserted too deep
