Singapore Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines 2016

Cheo Lian Yeo et al. Singapore Med J. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

We present the revised Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines for Singapore. The 2015 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Neonatal Task Force's consensus on science and treatment recommendations (2015), and guidelines from the American Heart Association and European Resuscitation Council were debated and discussed. The final recommendations of the National Resuscitation Council, Singapore, were derived after the task force had carefully reviewed the current available evidence in the literature and addressed their relevance to local clinical practice.

Keywords: National Resuscitation Council guidelines for resuscitation 2016; neonatal resuscitation; newborn resuscitation.
