A newborn requires complex resuscitation. You have intubated and are administering positive-pressure ventilation and chest compressions. Which 3 signs are used to evaluate the effectiveness of your actions, and the need to continue one or both of these measures?

Respirations,
heart rate,
oxygen saturation

As the newborn is getting complex resuscitation and is being intubated and administered positive pressure and chest compressions, following 3 signs are used for evaluation :

Breathing : To assess if the newborn is breathing or not. If yes, then what type of breathing is it. Normal breathing is 14 to 20 breaths per minute
Heart Rate : To assess the heart rate, ECGis done. normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Oxygen saturation : It is also necessary to assess oxygen saturation.

Answer:

Respirations

heart rate

oxygen saturation

Explanation:

A. Respiration is the intake of oxygen into the body and the release of carbon dioxide that are harmful from the body.

Respiration enable the flow of air in and out of the lungs and helps to maintain acid base balance.

B.Heart rate is the rate at which the heart beat continuously or frequently and it is calculated by number of contractions the heart beat has per minute and help to check the rate the heart functions.

C- Oxygen saturation is used to determine

the rate at which the body helps in distributing oxygen from the lungs to all of its cells and it is done by adding unsaturated and saturated blood which the human body requires or need.

Therefore the 3 signs which are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions, and the need to continue one or both of the measures are the RESPIRATION, HEAT BEAT AND OXYGEN SATURATION.

Hence this measures "intubation and administer of positive-pressure ventilation and chest compressions" need to be continued on the newborn.
