This document provides an overview of neonatal resuscitation, covering topics such as factors that increase resuscitation risk, initial resuscitation steps, positive pressure ventilation methods, endotracheal intubation, and post-resuscitation care. Approximately 10% of newborns require some life support, rising to 80% for infants under 1500 grams. Proper preparation, warming, positioning, stimulation and evaluation of respirations and heart rate are the initial steps of resuscitation if needed. Positive pressure ventilation, endotracheal intubation or medications may be required if the infant remains in distress. Ongoing observation and intensive care is provided as needed after resuscitation.
