Newborn resuscitation and support of transition of infants at birth 2021

Publication |
2021

Abstract

The following article offers an overall summary of neonatal resuscitation guidelines and support of transition focusing on the changes made between the years 2010-2021. It reflects the recommendations of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) for neonatal life support, the European Resuscitation Guidelines (ERC) and the American Heart Association Guidelines (AHA).

These recommendations are to be used for the resuscitation of newborns undergoing transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life but they can also be applied for the resuscitation of neonates during their first days/weeks of life.
