• Chorioamnionitis Defintion:
also known as intra-amniotic infection (IAI)[1] is an inflammation of the fetal membranes (amnion and
chorion) due to a bacterial infection.
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.
.How soon after administration of intravenous epinephrine should you pause compressions and
reassess the baby's heart rate?
1 minute
.You are counseling a set of 17-year-old parents,whose baby is about to be born at 23 weeks'
gestation. You have explained the chance of survival is low and that if the baby survives there is a high
likelihood of long-term morbidity.The parents understand your discussion and clearly request that
you provide life-sustaining treatment in the delivery room.How might you answer them?
You assure them that, as the parents, they are the appropriate decision makers for their baby and you
will support their decision.
After chest compressions with coordinated ventilations are started, the heart rate should be assessed:
After 60 seconds
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.
.A newborn requires complex resuscitation. You have intubated and are administering positive-
pressure ventilation and chest compressions. Which 3 signs are used to evaluate the effectiveness of
your actions, and the need to continue one or both of these measures?
Respirations, heart rate, oxygen saturation
During resuscitation, a baby is responding to positive-pressure ventilation with a rapidly increasing
heart rate. Her heart rate and oxygen saturation suddenly worsen.She has decreased breath sounds
on the left side and transillumination also reveals a bright glow on the left side.What is the most likely
cause of this distress?
Left-sided pneumothorax
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?
A baby required ventilation and chest compressions. After 60 seconds of chest compressions, the
