1.Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 sec-
onds. When is placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended?:
- The baby's heart rate remains less than 100 bpm and is not
increasing.
2.During a delivery, when and where should a person with intubation skills
be available?: In the hospital and immediately available
3.What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement
within the trachea?: Demonstration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and
a rapidly increasing heart rate
4.You are resuscitating a critically ill newborn whose heart rate is 20 bpm.
The baby has been intubated and the endotracheal tube insertion depth is
correct. You can see chest movement with PPV and hear bilateral breath
sounds, but the colorimetric CO2 detector does not turn yellow. What is the
,likely reason for this?: Low cardiac output
5.According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition
algorithm, at what point during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor
recommended to assess the baby's heart rate?: When an alternative
airway is inserted
6.What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a preterm new-
born with an estimated gestational age of 32 weeks (estimated birth weight
of 1.4 kg)?: 0
7.What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a preterm new-
born with an estimated gestational age of 28 weeks?: 00
8.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?: Briefly interrupt chest compressions every
60 seconds to assess the heart rate using the cardiac monitor.
,9.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?: Cardiac monitor
10.When are chest compressions indicated?: 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
11.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?: Stop chest compressions and continue PPV.
12.What is the recommended depth of chest compressions?: One-third of
the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
, 13.During chest compressions, which of the following is correct?-
: To coordinate compressions and ventilations, the compressor
calls out one-and-two-and-three-and-breathe-and....
14.During chest compression with of the following is correct?: Your team
is resuscitating a newborn whose heart rate remains less than 60 bpm
despite effective PPV and 60 seconds of chest compressions.
15.You have administered epinephrine intravenously. According to the
Text- book of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition, what volume of normal
saline flush should you administer?: 3 mL
16.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)?:
0.02 mg/kg (equal to 0.2 mL/kg)
17.When is the administration of a volume expander indicated during new-
born resuscitation?: The baby's heart rate is not increasing and there are
