Q

List advantages of self inflating bags

A

-Bags remain inflated unless squeezed
-can deliver air, concentrated oxygen, or a blend
-most have pop off valve to prevent excess pressure being delivered to the lungs

Q

What’s the proper position for the provider performing PPV?

A

Above baby’s head, (front of warmer). This position is best in order to place laryngeal mask or ETT if needed. May need to move to the side to administer chest compressions

Q

What’s the best way to secure the mask to the face?

A

Hold the mask and jaw together. Do not press down on baby’s head. Avoid compressing baby’s airway with downward force.

26
Q

If 15 seconds of PPV did not increase heart rate, but the chest is moving, what’s next?

A

Continue PPV another 15 seconds

27
Q

After 15 seconds of PPV, the heart rate is not increasing, chest is not moving, what’s next?

A

Take corrective steps to get the chest to rise, check for leaks, airway obstructionsor if too little pressure is being delivered

28
Q

What does MR. SOPA stand for?

A

Mask adjustment
Reposition airway
Suction mouth nose
Open mouth
Pressure increase
Alternative airway (ETT or laryngeal mask)

29
Q

When should the second heart rate assessment be taken?

A

30sec of PPV that moves chest

30
Q

At 30 sec heart rate assessment what do you check heart rate with?

A

Stethoscope, pulse oximeter or ECG

31
Q

If heart rate is 60-99bpm after 30 sec of effective PPV, what’s next?

A

Check ventilation efforts and make improvements

32
Q

If heart rate is less than 60 bpm after 30 sec of PPV, what’s next?

A

Place ETT or laryngeal mask and provide 30 sec PPV

33
Q

After placing ETT or laryngeal mask and delivering 30 more seconds of PPV, heart rate is less than 60 bpm, what’s next?

A

Start chest compressions, supplemental oxygen, administer epinephrine

34
Q

An ETT or laryngeal mask should be placed by

A

Properly trained providers, this class doesn’t teach how to do this

35
Q

ETT is the airway of choice and requires a

A

Laryngoscope

36
Q

What size laryngoscope blade and ETT for full term baby?

A

1 blade

37
Q

What size laryngoscope blade and ETT for premature baby?

A

0 blade

38
Q

What size laryngoscope blade and ETT for very premature baby?

A

00 blade

39
Q

A 2.5mm ETT tube is used for

A

Baby’s less than 1 kg (2.2lbs) (usually >28 weeks gestation)

40
Q

A 3.0mm ETT tube is used for

A

Babies weighing 1-2 kg (2.2-4.4 lbs) (usually 28-34 weeks gestation)

41
Q

A 3.5mm ETT tube is used for

A

Babies more than 2kg (4.4 lbs) (usually >34 weeks gestation)

42
Q

Where should ETT be placed?

A

1-2 cm below vocal cords (quick measure century of nose to tragus of ear (pointy flap)

43
Q

It should take no longer than ___ secs to place ETT

A

30 sec

44
Q

Should a provider try repeatedly attempt to intubate a neonate? Why?

A

No, each attempt is traumatizing and inflames airway

45
Q

A correctly placed ETT should result in

A

Chest movement and bilateral breath sounds

46
Q

What can be placed in the ETT to detect products of metabolism and has exchange?

A

CO² monitor

47
Q

Positive CO² suggests (ETT placed)

A

Proper ETT placement

48
Q

What provide s definite evidence of proper placement of ETT?

A

Chest X-ray

49
Q

If neonate conditions worsens after ETT placement what are the 4 possible issues?

A

(DOPE)
Dislodged ETT
Obstructed ETT
Pneumothorax
Equipment problem

50
Q

A laryngeal mask (LMA) is useful in cases when

A

Intubation is not possible

51
Q

Laryngeal make can be helpful when baby has malformations of

A

Face, jaw, palate

52
Q

What’s the most common laryngeal mask size available? What size baby will this not be useful for?

A

Size 1, 1,500 g (3.3 lbs usually 28-34 week gestation)

53
Q

What advantage does the laryngeal mask have

A

It does not require a laryngoscope

54
Q

When might a LMA leak air

A

Around cuff at high pressures

55
Q

LMA cannot be used to

A

Clearing airway secretions

56
Q

How to check proper placement on laryngeal mask?

A

CO² monitor

57
Q

How many ventilations should it take in order to detect CO²

A

8-10 ventilations

58
Q

What other signs should occur with proper placement of laryngeal mask?

A

Increased heart rate
Increasing SpO²
Bilateral chest movement
Breath sounds with ventilation

59
Q

Because air administered through the LMA will enter the esophagus as well as the trachea, what should be inserted into the stomach? What for?

A

A gastric tube should be inserted into the stomach for decompression

60
Q

Is LMA used for short-term or long-term

A

Short term

61
Q

What increases the longer LMA is in use

A

Complications

62
Q

When can LMA be removed

A

If baby needs transferred to a ETT instead or if baby breathes spontaneously

63
Q

Since the LMA sits on top of vocal cords what can providers hear to let them know the baby has spontaneous breathing

A

Crying (an ETT is below the vocal cords so this doesn’t work for ETT)
