Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm

The document outlines the 2015 Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm which provides guidance for assessing and caring for newborns at birth. The algorithm involves assessing the newborn at 1 and 5 minutes for signs of respiratory distress, apnea, or heart rate issues and providing appropriate interventions which may include positioning, clearing secretions, stimulation, positive pressure ventilation, supplemental oxygen, CPAP, intubation, chest compressions, and epinephrine as needed. The goal is to stabilize the newborn's heart rate, breathing efforts, and oxygen levels within targeted ranges during the critical first minutes and hours after birth.
