21
Q

indications for pulse oximetry

A

when resuscitation is anticipated
to confirm suspicion of persistent central cyanosis
when supplemental o2 is administered
when ppv is required

22
Q

indications for ppv

A

apneic/gasping
hr <100 bpm
persistent central cyanosis and saturation remains below target values despite 100% o2

23
Q

t/f ventilation of the lungs is the single most important and most effective step in cardiopulmonary resuscitation of the infant

A

true

24
Q

target pre-ductal o2

A

1 min = 60-65%
5 min = 80-85%
10 min = 85-95%

25
Q

signs of effective ventilation

A

signs of adequate ventilation = bilateral breath sounds, chest movements

signs of improvement in newborn = imporved hr, improved o2 sat, onset of spontaneous respiration

26
Q

ventilation corrective steps

A

MRSOPA

mask adjustment
reposition airway
suction
open mouth
pressure increase
airway alternative
27
Q

what to do when baby is apneic/gasping or hr <100 bpm

A

ventilation corrective steps

intubate if needed

28
Q

what to do if baby has labored breathing or persistent cyanosis

A

position and clear airway
spo2 monitoring
consider cpap

29
Q

what to do if hr <60 bpm

A

intubate
coordinated ppv and chest compressionis
100% o2
consider uvc insertion

30
Q

indications for ppv and chest compressions

A

ppv: <100 bpm

ppv + chest compressions: <60 bpm despite 30 s of ppv

31
Q

compression techniques

A

thumb technique and two finger technique

32
Q

compression-ventilation rhythm

A

90 compressions and 30 breaths per minute
120 events per minute

1-and-2-and-3-and-breathe

33
Q

complications of chest compressions

A

lacerations of major organs

broken ribs

34
Q

when to stop compressions and ppv

A

stop compressions when hr is >60 bpm

stop ppv when hr >100 bpm

35
Q

indications for intubation

A
  • chest compressions, doing prolonged ppv
  • stabilization of newborn with suspected diaphragmatic hernia
  • surfactant administration
  • direct tracheal suctioning if airway is obstructed by thick secretions
36
Q

t/f always hold the laryngoscope with the right hand

A

false, left hand

37
Q

appropriate blades for laryngoscope

A

blade 1 term
blade 0 preterm
blade 00 extremely preterm

38
Q

guide for inserting the et tube

A

vocal cords (v-shaped structure)

39
Q

what is ntl method

A

length of nasal septum to ear tragus

estimated insertion depth = ntl+1

40
Q

signs of correct tube position

A

BIN

improved vital signs
breath sounds over both lung fields but decreased/absent over stomach
no gastric distention with ventilation

41
Q

problems to consider if baby worsens post intubation

A

DOPE

Displaced endotracheal tube
Obstructed endotracheal tube
Pneumothorax
Equipment failure

42
Q

what to do if hr is <60 bpm despite adequate ventilation and chest compressions

A

iv epi
consider hypovolemia
consider pneumothorax

43
Q

indication for medication administration

A

Q

how to administer epi

A

uv catheterization -> insert epi

Q

after delivery, if the hr of the newborn is 60, first action is

A

ppv

46
Q
