Example questions

Let's look at some sample questions

What is the first step in neonatal resuscitation?

Assess breathingCheck pulseProvide warmingAdminister oxygen
In neonatal resuscitation, providing warmth is the first step to prevent hypothermia. According to the Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines, ensuring a warm environment is crucial.

What is the primary aim of neonatal resuscitation?

Restore heart functionEnsure adequate oxygenationMaximize muscle toneImprove feeding
The primary aim is to ensure adequate oxygenation. Oxygenation and ventilation are critical for a newborn's survival and help to restore normal circulation.

Which sign indicates a need for neonatal resuscitation?

Pink skinRegular cryingPoor muscle toneBaby opening eyes
Poor muscle tone is a sign that may indicate the need for neonatal resuscitation. Newborns should have good muscle tone and cry spontaneously.

When should you initiate positive pressure ventilation (PPV) in a newborn?

Heartbeat below 100 bpmHeartbeat above 100 bpmBaby shiveringGood breathing effort
Initiate PPV if the newborn's heart rate is below 100 bpm despite adequate ventilation efforts, as per Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines.

A newborn is breathing well but has cyanosis, what is the next step?

Start chest compressionsProvide supplemental oxygenInitiate PPVObserve the infant
When a newborn has adequate breathing but presents central cyanosis, providing supplemental oxygen is the next step.

Optimal temperature for neonatal resuscitation area?

18°C24°C32°C40°C
The ideal temperature for a neonatal resuscitation area is between 32°C to 34°C to prevent hypothermia.

What should be checked before using a bag-mask device?

Date of manufactureBag inflationMask colorPatient weight
Before use, ensure the bag inflates properly. This is crucial for delivering effective ventilation. Inspecting the device for air leaks and functionality is important.

Which of the following is the primary focus in the initial steps of neonatal resuscitation?

Thermal regulationChest compressionsAdvanced airway managementMedication administration
Initial steps focus on preventing heat loss and stabilizing the newborn's temperature through thermal regulation.

During resuscitation, a newborn's heart rate is 50 bpm. What is the first intervention?

Administer epinephrineStart chest compressionsInitiate positive pressure ventilationProvide IV fluids
When heart rate is less than 60 bpm, immediately begin positive pressure ventilation with oxygen as it is crucial for improving heart rate.

At what heart rate should chest compressions be initiated in a newborn during resuscitation?

<100 bpm<60 bpm<40 bpm<80 bpm
Chest compressions are indicated if the newborn's heart rate remains below 60 bpm after appropriate ventilation.
