CORRECT ANSWERS
NEW UPDATE 2025.
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)? - ANS/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? - ANS/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? - ANS/Cardiac monitor
, When are chest compressions indicated? - ANS/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? - ANS/Stop chest compressions and continue
PPV.
What is the recommended depth of chest compressions? - ANS/One-
third of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
During chest compressions, which of the following is correct? -
ANS/To coordinate compressions and ventilations, the compressor
calls out one-and-two-and-three-and-breathe-and....
Your team is resuscitating a newborn whose heart rate remains less
than 60 bpm despite effective PPV and 60 seconds of chest
compressions. You have administered epinephrine intravenously.
According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition,
what volume of normal saline flush should you administer? - ANS/3
mL
According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition,
what is the suggested initial dose for IV epinephrine (0.1 mg/1 mL=1
mg/10 mL)? - ANS/0.02 mg/kg (equal to 0.2 mL/kg)
When is the administration of a volume expander indicated during
newborn resuscitation? - ANS/The baby's heart rate is not
increasing and there are signs of shock or a history of acute blood
loss.
