Summary

  1. What are the initial steps in managing a vigorous term newborn infant – and which measures should be avoided? See p. 221.

  2. When are advanced resuscitative measures indicated in newborns? Keywords: meconium, asphyxia, premature birth/prematurity, special events. See p. 227.

  3. Why is endotracheal intubation in very small preterm infants difficult? Explain the anatomical features. See p. 236.

  4. Estimate the birth weight for the following tube sizes (inner diameter) for endotracheal intubation: 2.0-, 2.5-, or 3.0-mm-ID tube. See p. 85, Table 2.2

  5. What would you tell the parents: how high is the rate of brain damage (IVH, PVL) in preterm infants <1500 g? See p. 238.

  6. What could be the reasons for deterioration in spite of assuredly correct endotracheal intubation? See p. 222, p. 236, p. 340, p. 392, p. 410, p. 417.

  7. Below which gestational age is viability of the fetus not probable? See pp. 185–6.

  8. Is it legitimate to discontinue life-saving resuscitative measures once started in extreme prematurity? See p. 184, p. 235.

  9. What are the possible complications of monochorial twin pregnancies? See p. 240.

  10. What samples need to be collected prior to an emergency transfusion? See Table 3.1, p. 241.

  11. What are the clinical signs of a twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS)? See Table 3.1, p. 240.

  12. What is in the differential diagnosis when the newborn presents with pallor and increased respiratory rate? See Table 3.2, p. 243.

  13. When infection of the newborn is suspected what diagnostic tests should be performed in the delivery room? See Table 3.2, p. 244, p. 280.
