Q

Methods of providing oxygen via blow-by

A

Blow-by slide- set the O2 at 5 liters and if you hold the supply tubing ½ in from the face you get 80% 1inch – 60% 2-inch – 40%

Q

Procedure for intubation

A

Position- sniffing, 0 miller blade- premature, uncuffed tube, insertion distance of the tube is 7,8,9 Rule- if its 1kg infant you would insert the tube until the mark says 7, repeat for 2 (8)-3(9) kg infant.
On handout (Neo. Review)
Attempts are limited to 30 seconds

Q

Dubowitz scoring method

A

The Dubowitz scoring method determines gestational age when used within the first 5 days of birth
It is accurate within 2 weeks of the newborn’s gestational age.
The higher the score assigned, the greater the gestational age of the newborn

Q

Ballard Scoring

A

The Ballard score includes 6 neuromuscular/neurologic and six physical signs.
Neuromuscular signs - posture, square window, arm recoil, popliteal angle, scarf sign, and heal to ear.
Physical signs - skin, lanugo, plantar creases, breast, ears, and genitals.
It assesses the most useful items from the Dubowitz scoring system.
Gestational age is assessable from 26 to 44 weeks

Portable/efficient
44
Q

Administration of aerosol therapy

46
Q

Airway clearance techniques – describe newer techniques

A

Fluttery valve (oscillatory PEP)
Acapella (oscillatory PEP)Huff Cough- FET (forced exp. Technique)
Autogenic Drainage (breathing at 3 diff levels)
High frequency chest wall Oscillation (Vest)
All of these are better than CPT because of fewer side effects and can do it themselves.
She will describe theses tx to us on a matching question

Brown Fat

49
Q

Four mechanisms for losing heat and an example of each.

A

On the thermoregulation handout
Conduction: Loss of heat due to direct contact colder surface
Radiation: Loss of heat due to colder surface NOT in direct contact
Evaporation: Loss of heat due to evaporation from the skin
Convection: Loss of heat due to cooler surrounding air
