You are present at the birth of an infant with a large gastroschesis who is to be intubated and then taken to the OR to have a silo placed. Prior to intubation, the patient arrests. You note that you are in PEA. You have multiple providers present. Which of the following is correct?
a) 3:1 compression ventilation ratio
b) 15:2 compression ventilation ratio
c) 30:2 compression ventilation ratio
d) 8-10 breaths per minutes
e) 30:1 compression ventilation ratio
Click for Answer
Answer
Answer A.
In the newly-born infant, NRP guidelines apply and the compression to ventilation ratio is 3:1 in the absence of an endotracheal tube. After the infant is intubated, he should be ventilated at 8-10 breaths per minute with continuous CPR.
