NRP - AFTER 30 SEC CC AND VENT

After 30 seconds of chest compressions and ventilation, check the heart rate.

 If the heart rate is ♥ Greater than 60 bpm, discontinue compressions and continue ventilation at 40 to 60 breaths per minute
 ♥ Greater than 100 bmp, discontinue compressions, and gradually discontinue ventilation if the newborn is breathing spontaneously

 ♥ Less than 60 bpm, intubate the newborn, if not already done, and give epinephrine.
