Chapter 4 PPV Flashcards
What are the Five Initial Steps after the baby is born?
Warm
Dry
Stimulate
Position Airway
Suction/clear airway
(p.56)
List four conditions that would require PPV?
HR <100
apnea or gasping
labored breathing
persistent cyanosis
(p.47)
What is the rate of PPV and pressure?
40-60 bpm
20-25 cmH2o
(p.67)
How is the effectiveness of PPV evaluated?
By a rising heart rate after the first 15 seconds
(p. 67)
What should you do if the HR is not rising after 15 seconds of PPV?
Initiate the “Ventilation Corrective Steps” aka “MR.SOPA”
- M- mask adjustment
- R - reposition the head and neck
- S - suction the mouth and nose
- O - open the airway
- P - pressure increase with PPV by 5-10 cm H2O
- A - Alternative Airway (LMA/ETT)
(p.
What happens if after 30 seconds of PPV that INFLATES the lungs and “Ventilation Corrective Steps” (MR.SOPA) and the heart rate is less than 60?
Two interventions
FiO2 to 100%
Begin compressions
(p. 67)
Can an ambu bag be used for free flow O2 of CPAP?
No
(p.71)
How soon after birth should a decision about the need for PPV be made?
60 seconds
HR should be > 100 with normal breathing
If not start PPV
(p. 75)
Where should you position yourself for PPV?
Head of the bed
(p. 76)
What is the most common reason for PPV ineffectiveness?
“improper positioning” (p.77)
How do you evaluate the response to PPV?
A rising heart rate. Should be rising by 15 sec and >100 by 30 seconds
(p. 81)
What should you do if the baby’s heart rate is not increasing after 15 seconds of PPV?
Three steps
- Assess if the chest is actually moving–is your PPV doing anything?
- If moving, 30 seconds more of PPV
- If not moving initiate “Ventilation Corrective Steps” (MR.SOPA)
(p.82)
What are the three most likely reasons for ineffective PPV?
- air leak around mask
- airway obstruction
- insufficient ventilation pressure
(p. 82)
After initiating MR.SOPA steps what should you do to verify if they worked?
Give 5 breaths and assess for chest movement
MR - grouped
SO -grouped
P
A
How should you increase the pressure during PPV if needed?
By 5-10 cmH2o at a time
(p.
What are the maximum PPV pressures for term and preterm babies?
MAX Term 40 cmH20
MAX preterm 30 cmH2o
(p. 83)
What should you do after 30 seconds of PPV that inflates the lungs?
Evaluate if HR is over 100bpm
If it is, titrate FiO2 down
Slow the rate of PPV
If HR stays over 100, then DC PPV
(p. 85)
What should you do if the HR is greater than 60 but less than 100?
- IF the HR is rising, continue PPV
- if the HR is not rising–assess for chest movement/ breath sounds
- If not rising– MR.SOPA
(p.86)
What should you do if the heart rate remains below 60 bpm after 30 seconds adequate PPV? (preferably via LMA/ETT w. FiO2 of 100%?
Begin compression
(p.86)
What are some indications for CPAP?
3
Must be spontaneously breathing!
HR<100
labored breathing
(p.89)
