title: [Recent advances in research on neonatal resuscitation: an update].
abstract: Coinciding with the Annual Meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) last May 2008 in Honolulu (Hawaii, USA), Professor Colin Morley and his colleagues (University of Melbourne, Australia) held a Workshop on Research in Neonatal Resuscitation. Experts in the field presented their results and future projects over 2 days. The subjects presented during the workshop were: oxygen, air and oximetry; when and where to apply surfactant; neonatal resuscitation research techniques; teaching neonatal resuscitation; cellular physiology and biology; CPAP/PEEP/prolonged inspiration; video recording during resuscitation. Sessions were characterized by an interactive discussion. Our intention is to tell about some of the most innovative aspects that might interest our neonatal colleagues who did not have the opportunity to attend the meeting. As much of the information contained in this article is on experiments based, we recommend the reader not to consider it for immediate application in clinical practice until it has been validated by sufficient proof.
