Newborn Resuscitation: Best Practices and Recent Advancements for the Pediatric Clinician

Abstract

Current guidelines, recent advances, and best practices for newborn resuscitation for the pediatric clinician are reviewed. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program provides an evidence-based approach including recommendations for clinical care, training, and leadership/communication skill development. It is important for hospitals to have systems in place to ensure appropriate personnel, training, and resources are available in all areas where neonatal resuscitation could occur. Emerging science on the clinical components of resuscitation as well as training and delivery of care are reviewed and integration into current practice should be considered to support neonatal resuscitation efforts.
