What is the reassessment interval following initiation of CPR on a newborn?
Question #13
Using the newborn resuscitation flowchart for PCP, once you've gone through 30s of warm/dry, reassess, ventilate for 30s, reassess, and then CPR for 30s. I read it as continuing reassessments every 30s. However, under NRP it states reassessments after 60s. Just wondering what the standard for time between reassessments is once we have moved to CPR. Does it differ for ACPs and PCPs. Thank you!
Answer:
Once you have reached the compression phase of the algorithm, reassessments should occur at 60 second intervals, aligning with NRP. This does not change between ACP or PCP practice.
