Neonatal Resuscitation
This is the very first step you should take when a newborn is not breathing or crying at birth.
What is: Warm, dry, and stimulate.
This eye related condition is the most common cause of vision loss in older adults, caused by clouding of the lens, often results in glare and difficulty with night vision.
What are cataracts
This bacterial infection causes sudden high fever, drooling, tripod positioning, and a "thumbprint sign" on X-ray; attempting to visualize the airway can worsen obstruction.
What is epiglottitis
This lifelong neuromuscular disorder results from brain injury before birth and often causes motor impairment, spasticity, and difficulty controlling voluntary movements.
What is Cerebral palsy
Treatment of this infant respiratory infection is mainly supportive and may include humidified O2, suctioning, and hydration; severe cases may require high flow O2 or CPAP.
What is RSV
This is the target heart rate that indicates the newborn is responding appropriately to PPV
What is: 100 beats per min
This progressive condition involves increased intraocular pressure and can lead to peripheral vision loss, making it one of the major causes of preventable blindless in the elderly.
What is glaucoma
This condition involves inflammation and swelling of the subglottic area, producing a "Seal-bark" cough and inspiratory stridor.
What is croup
This genetic disorder causes thick, sticky mucus that leads to chronic lung infections and malabsorption; patients often require aggressive airway clearance.
What is Cystic fibrosis
Children with this airway emergency require calm handling, high flow O2, and immediate transport; airway visualization is avoided, and antibiotics are started in the hospital.
What is Epiglottitis
You should begin chest compressions when the newborn's heart rate stays below this number despite 30 seconds of ventilation
What is 60 beats per min.
This common geriatric ear problem results from impaired balance due to vestibular dysfunction and greatly increases the risk of falls.
What is vertigo
This virus is the most common cause of bronchiolitis in infants under 2, leading to wheezing, crackles, and significant respiratory distress.
What is RSV
Caused by an autoimmune attack at the neuromuscular junction, this condition leads to generalized muscle weakness that worsens with activity and can cause dangerous respiratory failure.
What is Myasthenia gravis
Patients with this condition require O2 (if needed), aspirin, nitrates, 12-lead ECG, and rapid transport to cardiac capable facility.
What is Myocardial Infarction
The correct compression to ventilation ratio during neonatal CPR is...
What is 3:1
Compared to men, this population is more likely to experience "silent" or atypical MI symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, back pain, or SOB rather than classic chest pain.
Who are women
This condition in children is characterized by bronchospasm, airway inflammation, and mucus production, often triggered by allergens, exercise, or respiratory infections.
What is asthma
This progressive neurological disease damages the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, causing symptoms like limb weakness, vision changes, and episodic flare-ups.
What is Multiple sclerosis
The first-line treatment for this pediatric emergency is IM epi, followed by airway support, high flow O2, antihistamines, and rapid transport.
What is anaphylaxis
This medication is the ONLY drug routinely used in neonatal resuscitation, given when the heart rate remains below 60 despite effective ventilation and compressions.
What is Epinephrine
This group is more likely to present with classic MI symptoms such as crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm.
Who are men
Causes by Bordetella pertussis, this illness leads to episodes of rapid coughing followed by a characteristic "whoop," and infants may present with apnea instead.
What is Whooping cough
This infectious disease caused by a virus primarily attacks the motor neurons and may lead to paralysis; vaccination has made it extremely rare in developed countries.
What is Poliomyelitis
This rapid visual assessment tool uses appearance, work of breathing, and circulation to the skin to quickly determine a child's level of distress.
What is the PAT
