What are the five indications for endotracheal intubation of a neonate?
What will be an ideal response?
(1) prolonged or inadequate bag mask ventilation is present
(2) chest compressions are needed and heart rate remains low
(3) endotracheal administration of epinephrine or surfactant is indicated
(4) meconium is present at delivery and the neonate is non-vigorous, meaning the neonate has a slow heart rate (<100/min), inadequate respirations, and/or poor muscle tone
(5) the neonate is extremely premature and mechanical ventilation is inevitable
