Neonatal bradycardia: verify ventilation before compressions
Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed0-year-old boy for compression-threshold recognition, qualified coordination review, reassessment, and active-risk handoff practice. About 6 simulated minutes.
What you will practise
- Activate qualified compression, ventilation, clock, and dyad response.
- Connect adequate ventilation, heart rate, airway, oxygenation, and the whole dyad.
- Recognize the compression threshold only after adequate ventilation.
- Review qualified compression-ventilation coordination and the epinephrine boundary.
- Review the fixed 3-minute qualified-team response report.
- Hand off respiratory, circulatory, neurologic, parent, and outcome risk.
