What is the first step in neonatal resuscitation according to the NRP 8th Edition?
✔✔The first step in neonatal resuscitation is to provide warmth, clear the airway if necessary,
dry the baby, and stimulate breathing.
When should positive pressure ventilation (PPV) be initiated in a newborn?
✔✔PPV should be initiated if the newborn is not breathing or if the heart rate is below 100 beats
per minute after initial steps.
What concentration of oxygen should be used during resuscitation of a term newborn?
✔✔For a term newborn, resuscitation should begin with 21% oxygen, which is room air.
How often should heart rate be reassessed during neonatal resuscitation?
✔✔Heart rate should be reassessed every 30 seconds during resuscitation to evaluate the
effectiveness of interventions and determine if changes are needed.

,What is the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio during chest compressions in
neonatal resuscitation?
✔✔The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio during neonatal resuscitation is 3:1.
When should you consider intubation during neonatal resuscitation?
✔✔Intubation should be considered if the newborn requires prolonged PPV, if PPV is
ineffective, or if chest compressions are initiated.
What are the indications for administering epinephrine during neonatal resuscitation?
✔✔Epinephrine should be administered if the heart rate remains below 60 beats per minute after
at least 30 seconds of effective PPV and chest compressions.
What is the preferred route of epinephrine administration during neonatal resuscitation?
✔✔The preferred route of epinephrine administration during neonatal resuscitation is via the
umbilical vein.
What is the purpose of the APGAR score, and when is it typically assessed?
✔✔The APGAR score is used to assess the newborn's condition at 1 and 5 minutes after birth,
evaluating appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration.
2
, When is it appropriate to stop resuscitation efforts in a newborn?
✔✔It is appropriate to consider stopping resuscitation efforts if there is no detectable heart rate
after 10 minutes of continuous and adequate resuscitation.
What is the role of therapeutic hypothermia in neonatal care?
✔✔Therapeutic hypothermia is used in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy to
reduce the risk of brain injury by lowering the body temperature.
What is the initial recommended dose of intravenous epinephrine for neonatal resuscitation?
✔✔The initial recommended dose of intravenous epinephrine is 0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg.
How should you manage a newborn with meconium-stained amniotic fluid?
✔✔For a vigorous newborn with meconium-stained amniotic fluid, routine care should be
provided. If the newborn is not vigorous, proceed with clearing the airway and initiating
resuscitation if needed.
What are the components of effective positive pressure ventilation (PPV)?
