2. You are called to an emergency cesarean delivery of a term baby due to Category 3 fetal heart
rate monitoring strip. At your request additional help has arrived. At delivery the baby is apneic
with very poor tone and color. The baby appears to be about 3kg. Despite repositioning, drying
and stimulation, the newborn remains apneic with a heart rate of 30 beats per minutes. You
initiate ventilation and achieve chest rise, but the heart does not improve. You intubate, confirm
appropriate endotracheal tube placement and secure. The heart rate is now 30 beats per
minute and a team member begins chest compressions. Together you provide 45 to 60 seconds
or coordinated compression and ventilations, but the heart rate is now undetectable. You
decide to administer epinephrine via endotracheal tube while another team member obtain IV
access. What is the appropriate dose of 1:10,000 concentration of epinephrine for endotracheal
delivery to 3kg baby?

ventilation and chest compressions, you should do all of the following except
4. During resuscitation, one of your team members suggests that the baby might benefit from a
