with PPV and hear bilateral breath sounds, but the colorimetric CO2 detector does not turn
yellow. What is the likely reason for this? - answer✔Low cardiac output
According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition algorithm, at what point
during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor recommended to assess the baby's heart rate? -
answer✔When an alternative airway is inserted

compressions every 60 seconds to assess the heart rate using the cardiac monitor.

perfusion. Which is the preferred method to assess the heart rate? - answer✔Cardiac monitor
When are chest compressions indicated? - answer✔When the heart rate remains less than 60
bpm after at least 30 seconds of PPV that moves the chest, preferably through an alternative
