The aim of neonatal resuscitation is to prevent neonatal death and adverse long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae associated with perinatal asphyxia.

The key elements to a successful neonatal resuscitation include ventilation of the lungs while minimizing injury, the judicious use of oxygen to improve pulmonary blood flow, circulatory support with chest compressions, and vasopressors and volume that would hasten return of spontaneous circulation.

This initial evaluation may occur during the interval between birth and umbilical cord clamping. You will rapidly ask 3 questions: (1) Does the baby appear to be term, (2) Does the baby have good muscle tone, and (3) Is the baby breathing or crying?
