What is via an umbilical venous catheter (UVC)?
This black-and-white bear is native to China and eats mostly bamboo.
What is a panda?
Adrenaline is indicated during neonatal resuscitation only if, after at least 30 seconds of effective positive pressure ventilation and chest compressions in 100% oxygen, if this condition in the neonates persists.
What is asystole or a heart rate below 60 bpm?
This alternative route of administration may be used if IV access and UVC access is not available.
What is intraosseous (IO)?
When IV access is unavailable, adrenaline can be administered via this route at a dose of 0.5–1 mL/kg.
What is the endotracheal tube?
According to ANZCOR guidelines, IV adrenaline can be administered at this interval if the heart rate remains below 60 bpm.
What is every 3–5 minutes?
This mammal is the only one capable of true flight.
What is a bat?
True or false: It does not matter how long effective positive pressure ventilation and chest compressions have been performed before administering adrenaline during neonatal resuscitation.
What is false? You must provide at least 30 seconds of effective positive pressure ventilation in 100% oxygen and external compressions before administering adrenaline.
