title: Neonatal resuscitation.
abstract: The long-term outcome of infants subjected to perinatal asphyxia can be improved if they are recognized as high risk before birth and managed so as to reduce the period of hypoxemia to a minimum. Prompt and effective resuscitation of asphyxiated infants at the time of birth can contribute much to improving the long-term outcome of these infants.
