You are resuscitating a critically ill newborn whose heart rate is 20 bpm. The baby has been intubated
and the endotracheal tube insertion depth is correct. You can see chest movement with PPV and hear
bilateral breath sounds, but the colorimetric CO2 detector does not turn yellow. What is the likely
reason for this?
The endotracheal tube is not in the trachea.
Excessive ventilation pressure.
Epinephrine contamination.
Low cardiac output.
low cardiac output
What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement within the trachea?
Continued central cyanosis and no mist in the tube
Auscultation of bilateral breath sounds and no air entry heard over the abdomen
Demonstration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and a rapidly increasing heart rate
Absence of crying and no abdominal distension
Demonstration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and a rapidly increasing heart rate
Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds. When is placement of
an endotracheal tube strongly recommended?
The baby's heart rate remains less than 100 bpm and is not increasing.
The baby's heart rate is between 60 and 100 bpm and the heart rate is increasing.
The baby's heart rate is >100 bpm and the baby is beginning to breathe.
The baby's heart rate is >100 bpm and oxygen saturation is less than the target range.
The baby's heart rate remains less than 100 bpm and is not increasing.
During a delivery, when and where should a person with intubation skills be available?
In the hospital and immediately available
In the delivery room or operating room at every birth
Available on call at home
Available on call from a remote area of the hospital
In the hospital and immediately available
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?
After chest compressions are performed for at least 2 minutes
When an alternative airway is inserted
Immediately after epinephrine is administered
Anytime pulse oximetry is used to assess oxygen saturation
alternative airway
What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a preterm newborn with an estimated

, Even brief interruptions of chest compressions may significantly reduce their effectiveness, but it is
also important to assess the need to continue chest compressions. What is the preferred way to
assess the heart rate during chest compressions?
Briefly interrupt chest compressions every 30 seconds to auscultate the heart rate.
Briefly interrupt chest compressions and palpate the brachial pulse.
Briefly interrupt chest compressions every 60 seconds to assess the heart rate using the cardiac
monitor.
Briefly interrupt chest compressions to palpate the umbilical cord.
Briefly interrupt chest compressions every 60 seconds to assess the heart rate using the cardiac
monitor.
Your team is resuscitating a newborn at birth. The heart rate is low and the baby has poor perfusion.
Which is the preferred method to assess the heart rate?
Cardiac monitor
Pulse oximeter
CO2 detector
Direct auscultation
Cardiac monitor
When are chest compressions indicated?
When the heart rate is less than 80 bpm
When the heart rate remains less than 60 bpm after at least 30 seconds of PPV that moves the chest,
preferably through an alternative airway
When the heart rate remains less than 100 bpm after 30 seconds of PPV that moves the chest
preferably through an alternative airway
When the heart rate remains less than 100 bpm despite PPV with 100% oxygen
When the heart rate remains less than 60 bpm after at least 30 seconds of PPV that moves the chest,
preferably through an alternative airway
After 60 seconds of PPV coordinated with chest compressions, the cardiac monitor indicates a heart
rate of 70 beats per minute. What is your next action?
Stop chest compressions and continue PPV.
Continue chest compressions and continue PPV.
Stop chest compressions and stop PPV.
Administer epinephrine while continuing chest compressions and PPV with 100% oxygen.
Stop chest compressions and continue PPV.
.What is the recommended depth of chest compressions?
One-third of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
One-fourth of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
Half of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
Two-thirds of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
One-third of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
During chest compressions, which of the following is correct?
To coordinate compressions and ventilations, the compressor calls out Breathe-two-three; breathe-
two-three....
The compression to ventilation ratio is 15 compressions:2 ventilations.
Most babies who require chest compressions will also require volume expander.
To coordinate compressions and ventilations, the compressor calls out one-and-two-and-three-and-
breathe-and....
