According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition algorithm, at what point during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor recommended to assess the baby\u2019s heart rate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer
According to the updated guidelines from the American Heart Association, if resuscitation is required for a newborn, the heart rate should be monitored by electrocardiography as early as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrocardiography is recommended because it detects the heart rate faster and more accurately than a pulse oximeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, positive-pressure ventilation should be initiated in newborns who are gasping, apneic, or have a heart rate below 100 beats per minute by 60 seconds of life\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This question is a part of the NRP 8th Edition Answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
