[Neonatal resuscitation in the delivery room: educational process and evaluation].
Based upon a three necessities basis: public health, biological and medico-legal, this article presents the state of the art about teaching neonatal resuscitation in the delivery room. The educational process is present worldwide; main experiences are described. Evaluation of these actions varies in the literature. We analyze the evaluation of the process of the trained professionals, their satisfaction, the changes in their practices, their theoretical and practical levels, and the impact on newborns' health. We propose a few measures to make official this kind of teaching in France, with a certificate for instructors and trained professionals.
