- Abstract
Deaths of babies in the first 28 days of life in resource-limited countries can be significantly reduced with a small number of low-tech interventions. This article summarises the core equipment and skills needed for the resuscitation of newborns where equipment is limited and skilled paediatric support is not available. It draws on the WHO Newborn Care Guidelines, updated in November 2017, to illustrate recent changes in resuscitation practices and to emphasise the importance of keeping babies warm, and breastfeeding early. Anaesthetic practitioners are well placed to promote good practice in all these aspects of newborn management.
