46
What is the recommended rate for chest compressions during CPR?
100 - 120 BPM ## Footnote This rate is crucial for effective resuscitation in neonates.
47
What is the initial step to take for a neonate at birth?
Clear Airway ## Footnote Ensuring a clear airway is essential for effective ventilation.
48
When should positive pressure ventilation (PPV) be initiated?
If the neonate is not breathing or has a heart rate <100 ## Footnote PPV is crucial for neonates showing signs of respiratory distress.
49
What is the target oxygen saturation (SpO2) level for a neonate after birth?
85% - 95% ## Footnote Monitoring SpO2 levels is vital for assessing oxygenation.
50
What is the appropriate position for resuscitating a neonate?
Proper Position ## Footnote This involves placing the neonate on their back with the head in a neutral position.
51
What is the significance of delayed cord clamping for neonates?
It allows for improved blood flow and oxygen delivery ## Footnote This practice can enhance neonatal outcomes.
52
What is the recommended action if a neonate shows signs of apnea or gasping?
Initiate PPV ## Footnote Immediate intervention is necessary to support breathing.
53
What heart rate indicates the need for CPR in a neonate?
Heart rate <60 ## Footnote A heart rate below this threshold requires immediate resuscitation efforts.
54
Fill in the blank: The goal for chest compressions during neonatal resuscitation is _______.
100 - 120 BPM
55
What are the signs of effective ventilation in a neonate?
Breathing, crying, and heart rate improving ## Footnote Successful ventilation can be assessed by these indicators.
56
What should be monitored every 10 seconds during resuscitation?
Pulse check ## Footnote Regular assessment of the pulse is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of resuscitation.
57
What is the recommended volume for IV fluid administration in a neonate?
10 mL/kg over 5-10 min ## Footnote This fluid bolus can help stabilize the neonate's condition.
58
True or False: Suctioning is always the first step in neonatal resuscitation.
False ## Footnote Clearing the airway is prioritized over suctioning.
59
What is the target respiratory rate for a neonate receiving resuscitation?
40 - 60 breaths per minute ## Footnote This rate is necessary for adequate ventilation.
60
What is the appropriate response if a neonate exhibits cyanosis?
Provide supplemental oxygen ## Footnote Cyanosis indicates inadequate oxygenation and requires immediate action.
61
What does PEEP stand for in neonatal resuscitation?
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure ## Footnote PEEP can help improve oxygenation and lung recruitment.
