NEONATES MUST KNOW Flashcards

1
Q

Calculate the minute volume of a newborn who weighs 3 Kg and has respiratory rate of 40 breaths per minute?
(Was on the SEE)

A

MV = RR x TV
Tidal volume for the adult is the same as in the infant, 7ml/kg
First calculate the TV which is 3kg x 7ml = 21
MV= 21 x 40 = 840 ml/min

35
Q

Which APGAR score reflects some flexion of extremities, grimace, heart rate >100 bpm, completely pink color, and crying?

A

8
According to the APGAR scoring method, this patient would receive the following points: some flexion of extremities (1), grimace (1), >100 heart rate bpm (2), completely pink (2), and crying (2).
