Review NRP part II Lone Star college systems: Kingwood Elizabeth Kelley Buzbee AAS, RRT-NPS, RCP
We select a mask that fits over the nose and mouth without fitting over the eyes • We make sure the airway is clear • We position the baby’s head in the sniffing position • Use less than 30cmH20 pressure to inflate • Deliver 40-60 BPM breath…2…3…breath…2…3… answer
With in 30 seconds • see & feel the chest rise • Have someone listen to the BBS • Monitor the patient’s HR which should rise as the baby gets good ventilation • Observe the skin color get pinker • And the baby’s muscle tone improve answer
What if these good results fail to happen within 30 seconds?
Reassess the seal around mask • Re-establish head position • Increase PIP till you see chest rising • If these don’t work, orally intubate • Check that the 02 line has not come off the bag or that the flow meter has not been turned off • Is the belly getting full of air? answer
If you will have to mask bag for more than a few minutes what hazards need to be avoided?
Gastric insufflations: get an 8 French feeding tube tube into the baby • Poor seal: monitor head position and mask position answer
Without interrupting mask bagging, measure from bridge of nose to ear lobe and then to midway between the xyphoid process and the naval. • Note the cm mark at this point • Insert tube through the mouth & aspirate stomach contents with syringe • Remove syringe so gas can be vented from belly answer
When the baby’s HR is less than 60 BPM after 30 seconds of effective ventilations, we start compressions at 90 BPM • If the HR is above 60 BPM, we continue to mask bag until the HR gets above 100 BPM; if the patient is still apneic, intubate answer
What is the function of the pressure gauge on the self-inflating manual resuscitator? • What is the function of the reservoir on the back of the bag?
pressure gauge helps you determine the PIP being used to inflate the lung • A properly-sized reservoir on the back of the bag helps raise the Fi02 of the bag to close to 90- 100% answer
What is the Fi02 of the self-inflating manual resuscitator without the reservoir?
It is only 40% answer

Keep finger over PEEP cap • Set PIP on right-sided dial; keep finger over PEEP cap • Set the PEEP by removing finger from PEEP cap and adjusting level between zero to 5 cmH20 on the top of the cap itself answer
Draw a line between the nipples and place hands just below this line on lower 1/3rd of sternum • Thumb method: encircle the chest, fingers support the spine • Two finger method: compress • Depress 1/3rd of the AP diameter of chest answer
While doing compressions on the newborn do you spend more time going down or coming up?
The duration of the downward stroke needs to be slightly shorter than the upward stroke answer
One- and- two- and- three- and bag • There should be 90 compressions/minute with 30 breaths • Do this for 30 seconds before reassessing HR with palpation of umbilical cord answer
Reassess pulse in 30 seconds • If there is no pulse rate above 60 , give epinephrine answer
What is the route and the dose of epinephrine in the newborn without a pulse
Give via Umbilical Venous Catheter • Give 1:10,000 by IV • Give .1 mL /kg to .3 mL/kg • If instillation down ET tube • Raise dose to .3 mL/kg to 1 ml/kg answer
Your baby is 1500 gram. How much epinephrine should she get by IV?
.1 x 1.5 kg = .15 ml of 1:10,000 epinephrine • .3 x 1.5 kg = .45 ml of 1:10,000 epinephrine answer
What do you do if your patient has been intubated sucessfuly, you’ve bagged effectively, and given epinephrine, but your babies HR is still less than 60 BPM
Continue CPR • Continue bagging; reassess BBS and chest rising • If there is a history of bleeding or patient appears shocky—administer volume expanders answer
You have been bagging sucessully, now you see that the chest is no longer rising & you have breath sounds only on one side. • What do you do?
Assess the infant for possible pneumothorax • Needle aspiration of the chest wall over the area of no BS answer
