-Bradycardia during scope insertion
-Post-intubation croup
-Pneumothorax
10 risk factors for postintubation laryngeal edema? Correct
Answers Risk factors (all are from a small airway or airway
trauma:
-Age < 4 years
-ETT is too large
-ETT cuff volume is too high (too much air was injected or N2O
was used during the procedure)
-Traumatic or multiple intubation attempts (one reason not to
use an uncuffed tube)
-Prolonged intubation
-Coughing (cuff rubs against the tracheal mucosa)
-Head or neck surgery
-Head repositioning during surgery
-History of infectious or post-intubation croup

,3 indications for FFP transfusion in the neonate? Correct
Answers The indications for transfusion of FFP mirror the
recommendations set forth by the ASA guidelines. These
include:
-Emergency reversal of warfarin.
-Correction of coagulopathic bleeding with increase PT > 1.5 or
increased PTT.
-Correction of coagulopathic bleeding if > 1 blood volume has
been replaced and coagulation studies are not easily obtained.
FFP is NOT indicated for expansion of intravascular volume.
3 treatment for hypermagnesemia? Correct Answers
Supportive measures
Diuretics (to facilitate excretion of Mg+2)
IV calcium (to antagonize Mg+2)
4 signs and symptoms suggest a congenital diaphragmatic
hernia? Correct Answers CDH is usually diagnosed at birth.
