NL - Newborn RR
30-60 b/m
The less mature the neonate changes RR how?
Higher
And progression of below NL interventions
120-160
>100 = routine care 60-99 = ventilation support <60 = ventilation + chest compressions
> 40mmhg - elevated pulse pressure indicates
PDA
After age 3 - BP calculation tool
SBP = 80+(age x 2) DBP = 2/3 SBP
