Algorithm for the management of preterm infants less than 35 weeks’ gestation at birth

Non-invasive respiratory management of the extremely preterm infant at birth is increasingly being supported by an abundance of evidence suggesting some improved outcome. Converting this knowledge into an applicable practical approach is a challenge. We have tried to resolve this by reviewing the literature systematically and producing a structured algorithm that can be followed by any member of staff with sufficient experience in the resuscitation of preterm infants.
