title: [Resuscitation of neonates in the delivery room. Recommendations by the American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics].
abstract: According to the recommendation of the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics 43 newborn babies with mean birth weight 3300 g (range 610-5100 g) were resuscitated. One-minute Apgar score was 0:1, 1:22, 2:11, 3:7, 4:2 cases. Mask and bag ventilation were needed in 43, heart compression in 7, tracheal intubation in 2, drugs in 2 cases. Five-minute Apgar values were 8:39, 5:1, 7:1 case. All resuscitations were successful. The resuscitation program is a great advance in the field of neonatology. Nationwide application of it might be helpful to decrease neonatal mortality in Hungary.
