Megacode at a Glance
- A term newborn arrives with no spontaneous respirations.
- Despite PPV at 40–60 breaths/min, heart rate remains below 100 bpm, prompting advanced airway management (LMA) and further assessment.
- The baby exhibits sinus bradycardia (HR <60 bpm), necessitating chest compressions alongside synchronized PPV at 100% oxygen.
- An endotracheal tube replaces the LMA, while chest compressions and PPV continue until heart rate rises above 100 bpm.
- Once stabilized with a heart rate of 128 bpm, the infant is transferred to the neonatal ICU for post-resuscitation care.
