Q

The administration of NaHCO3 is contraindicated in a baby with what acid base imbalance

A

respiratory acidosis (NaHCO3 breaks down into CO2 and H20, so don’t want to give to baby who already has a CO2 retention issue)

37
Q

Platelet function is best measured by assessing the ____

A

bleeding time (not platelet count)

A

true

A

80-100 ml/kg

40
Q

Volume of air left in the alveoli after expiration

A

FRC

41
Q

Respiratory condition that usually resolves within 48-72 hours
