Resuscitation of the newly born infant presents a different set of challenges than the resuscitation of the adult or even the older infant or child. Approximately 5-10% of the newly born population require some degree of active resuscitation at the birth. More than 1 million neonatal deaths from birth asphyxia occur worldwide each year. The need for resuscitation of the newly born infant often can be predicted allowing the selection of opportunities for an optimal setting and trained personnel.
