Question: What is the first step in neonatal resuscitation after ensuring a baby is born at term,
crying, and has good muscle tone?
Answer: ✔✔ The first step is to provide warmth, clear the airway if necessary, dry the baby, and
stimulate breathing.
Question: What is the primary purpose of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during neonatal
resuscitation?
Answer: ✔✔ The primary purpose of PPV is to assist or stimulate the newborn's breathing by
inflating the lungs with oxygen.
Question: At what heart rate should chest compressions be initiated in a newborn during
resuscitation?

, Question: How should you position a newborn’s head during resuscitation to ensure an open
airway?
Answer: ✔✔ The head should be positioned in a "sniffing" position, with the neck slightly
extended to open the airway.
Question: What is the recommended oxygen concentration for newborns requiring positive
pressure ventilation at birth?
Answer: ✔✔ For newborns at term, it is recommended to start with room air (21% oxygen). For
preterm newborns, blended oxygen with a concentration of 21-30% may be used.
Question: What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio when performing CPR on a newborn?
Answer: ✔✔ The compression-to-ventilation ratio is 3:1, with three compressions followed by
one ventilation.
Question: When should endotracheal intubation be considered during neonatal resuscitation?
Answer: ✔✔ Endotracheal intubation should be considered if positive pressure ventilation is
ineffective, chest compressions are required, or the newborn requires tracheal suctioning for
meconium-stained fluid.
