Radial Arterial Sample Needle Size
- Angle for puncture?
23 or 25 Gauge & 2.54cm (1’)
[30-45 degree angle]
How do you treat moderate to high WOB?
CPAP
When do you perform PPV on a neonate?
When they stop breathing or their HR drops below 100
Preductal SpO2 values?
In neonates, stridor occurs during inspiration. What is typically associated with stridor?
Tracheomalacia (floppy/compliant trachea)
How do you manage a neonate if their HR dropped bc of hypoxemia?
Neopuff: 10-12LPM (starting)
PIP = 20 cmH20
PEEP = 5cmH20
How do assess the effectiveness of PPV?
HR
Why would a babe have high pressures during PPV or need them?
Fluid in the lungs
Which group of neonate patients DON’T need mech. ventilation?
PaCO2 > 60mmHg
pH < 7.25
Put on CPAP (pressures 5-6)
Laryngoscope blade sizes?
No. 1 = term newborn
No. 0 = preterm
No. 00 = very preterm
Endotracheal Tube Sizes?
What size would you select for Suction Catheters for the following ETT sizes:
- 2.5
- 3.0
- 3.5
- 2.5 = 5F or 6F
- 3.0 = 6F or 8F
- 3.5 = 8F
How do you estimate ETT Insertion Depth?
6 + weight in kg
Suction pressure for a neonate?
60-80mmhg
Suction pressure for larger infants and children?
80-100mmHg
Suction pressure for Meconium Aspirator?
80-100mmHg
When to increase CPAP?
- Fi02 remains high
- WOB remains high
- Increase slowly about 1 cmH20 per increment
When should you consider intubation and PPV?
- FiO2 is increasing
- WOB remains high
- BP Change
- Apneic/unresponsive
- Poor ABG
