Neonatal resuscitation – a practical approach. The experience of one UK tertiary neonatal unit

Neonatal resuscitation is a complex task requiring appropriate equipment and personnel, and it is the co-ordination of tasks and people that helps ensure the best outcomes. It is also, like many other practical skills, a process that is improved by regular practice and review. The approach at the Royal Victoria Infirmary to ensuring neonatal resuscitation equipment, personnel and recording of events is as smooth running as possible is presented, as well as a technique of reviewing the process of resuscitation across disciplines within a neonatal unit.
