5 tips for suctioning
•Use a closed-system suctioning •hyperoxygenate prior to suctioning **not with preemies** •pass the catheter frequently •keep attempts short •pass the catheter a predetermined distance
A 1 year old child is selected for a ___ sized endotube ?
4.0 mm
A preemie by age is selected for an ___ sized endotube?

Anatomical considerations in the neonate
•cricoid ring is narrower than the glottis •larynx is more anterior •larynx is more cephalic •tongue is large and bulky •epiglottis is long and stiff
Cannula and masks for peds
Lower flows than adult values are appropriate due to lower inspiratory flow rates and smaller tidal volumes
Concerns with HFNC?
•increased time needed for RT support •increase delay to start oral feeding •increase length of stay in hospital •increase incidence of ROP and BPD
Define HFJV
High frequency jet ventilation •needs a special adaptor or ETT and Two vents

PiP-peep and cst
Five phases of ROP
•Bilateral vasoconstriction and obliteration of the retinal capillaries •neovascularization •vessel fibrosis •retinal hemorrhage •retinal detachment
Flow-inflating bags
Mapleson system
Frequency-important note (HFOV)
Decrease the frequency will increase volume and decrease PaCO2
Goals of tent therapy
•oxygen delivery •humidity control •environmental temperature control •isolated environment •drug therapy
