There<strong>for</strong>e blended oxygen and airshould be given judiciously and its use guided by pulse oximetry.If a blend of oxygen and air is not available use what isavailable.• Preterm babies of less than 28 weeks gestation should be completelycovered in a food-grade plastic wrap or bag up to theirnecks, without drying, immediately after birth. They should thenbe nursed under a radiant heater and stabilised. They should∗ Corresponding author.E-mail address: jonathan.wyllie@stees.nhs.uk (J.

For these infants delivery room temperatures shouldbe at least 26 ◦ C.• The recommended compression:ventilation ratio <strong>for</strong> <strong>CPR</strong> remainsat 3:1 <strong>for</strong> newborn resuscitation.• Attempts to aspirate meconium from the nose and mouth ofthe unborn baby, while the head is still on the perineum, arenot recommended. If presented with a floppy, apnoeic babyborn through meconium it is reasonable to rapidly inspect theoropharynx to remove potential obstructions. If appropriateexpertise is available, tracheal intubation and suction may beuseful. However, if attempted intubation is prolonged or unsuccessful,start mask ventilation, particularly if there is persistentbradycardia.• If adrenaline (epinephrine) is given then the intravenous route isrecommended using a dose of 10–30 gkg −1 . If the tracheal routeis used, it is likely that a dose of at least 50–100 gkg −1 will beneeded to achieve a similar effect to 10 gkg −1 intravenously.• Detection of exhaled carbon dioxide in addition to clinical assessmentis recommended as the most reliable method to confirmplacement of a tracheal tube in neonates with spontaneous circulation.• Newly born infants born at term or near-term with evolving moderateto severe hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy should, wherepossible, be offered therapeutic hypothermia. This does not affectimmediate resuscitation but is important <strong>for</strong> post-resuscitationcare.www.elsuapdetodos.comThe guidelines that follow do not define the only way that resuscitationat birth should be achieved; they merely represent a widelyaccepted view of how resuscitation at birth can be carried out bothsafely and effectively (Fig. 7.1).Preparation0300-9572/$ – see front matter © 2010 <strong>European</strong> <strong>Resuscitation</strong> <strong>Council</strong>.

Of thosethat do need help, the overwhelming majority will require onlyassisted lung aeration. A small minority may need a brief period ofchest compressions in addition to lung aeration. Of 100,000 babiesborn in Sweden in 1 year, only 10 per 1000 (1%) babies of 2.5 kg ormore appeared to need resuscitation at delivery. 4 Of those babies
