Recent Update on Neonatal Resuscitation

Amuchou S Soraisham et al. Indian J Pediatr. 2022 Mar.

Abstract

Every 5 y, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation publishes consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and emergency cardiovascular science and treatment recommendations. The latest update on neonatal resuscitation guidelines was published in 2020. Here, the authors review the important changes in the recent recommendations, including initial steps of resuscitation, umbilical cord management, management of nonvigorous infants born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid, sustained inflation in preterm infants, epinephrine, vascular access, timing of discontinuation of resuscitative effort, and team briefing and debriefing.
