Neonatal resuscitation.
Three decades of ongoing research and obstetric and pediatric education have seen neonatal resuscitation develop into a well-organized delivery room procedure. Because neonatal resuscitation does not occur frequently in the Emergency Department, few are well prepared. A designated site in the Emergency Department, trained personnel, appropriate equipment and well defined procedures are necessary. These recommendations for the organization of the resuscitation site, procedures, therapeutic drugs, and required equipment must be individualized to each Emergency Department.
