Q

If a neonate needs resuscitation, what FiO2 should you start at?

A

> 35 weeks = 21%
<34 weeks =30%

17
Q

Why is PEEP and CPAP used for neonatal resuscitations?

A
  1. Establish FRC
  2. Decrease resistance
  3. Increase compliance
  4. Reduce apnea
  5. Improves oxygenation
  6. Conserve surfactant
  7. Reduce lung injury and inflammation
  8. reduce need for ventilation
18
Q

What are the indications for bag mask ventilation?

A
  1. Apnea
  2. Ineffective respiratory rate
  3. HR below 1oo beats per minute despite 100% FiO2
19
Q

What rate should a neonate be bagged at?

A

40-60 bpm

20
Q

What IP should be used when bagging a neonate?

A

20-25 cm H2O

21
Q

What PEEP level should be used when bagging a neonate?

A

5 cm H2O

22
Q

What are the indications for intubation for neonates?

A
  1. tracheal suctioning for meconium needed
  2. BMV is ineffective or prolonged
  3. Chest compressions are performed
  4. Tracheal administration of medications such as surfactant
23
Q

What is the range of ETT sizes in neonates?

A

2-4, most common used are 3 and 3.5

24
Q

How can you verify ETT location when you have intubated a neonate?

A
  1. Colorimetric CO2 monitor
  2. Chest radiograph
  3. Capnography
  4. Bilateral breath sounds
  5. Symmetrical chest wall movement
25
Q

When should chest compressions be given during neonatal resuscitation?

A

if the heart rate is less than 60 after stimulation and 30 seconds of PPV

26
Q

What are the options for vascular access in neonates?

A
  1. Umbilical vein
  2. Intraosseous
27
Q

What are the benefits of umbilical vein vascular access?

A
  1. Easy access
  2. Easy cannulation
  3. Can be cannulated up to 1 week after birth
28
Q

what is the pneumonic for post resuscitation neonatal care?

A

STABLE

29
Q

What does the STABLE pneumonic stand for?

A

1.Sugar monitoring and treatment
2Temperature stabilization and maintenance
3. Airway, normal and patent
4. Blood pressure
5. Lab work = acid base and electrolyte balance
6. Emotional support
