title: Neonatal resuscitation in the isolated setting.
abstract: This review attempts a practical guide to unscheduled resuscitation of the newborn in the isolated setting, where high-risk cases have been screened for, identified and referred for delivery in the tertiary care. Regarding airway management in this emergency, there is for the most part consensus in Australia, but this is less so for cardiovascular aspects. Material from the 'Advanced Paediatric Life Support' course, which offers definitive instruction in necessary techniques, has been used as a framework, with added material based on the Australian experience. Internationally, specific aspects of resuscitation are under review.
