Thermal control is an important consideration 1.
Umbilical cord management after birth is addressed 1.Special Populations
Guidelines cover both preterm and term newborn infants 1.Key Recommendations
A logical approach to resuscitation and support of transition to extra-uterine life should be followed for both preterm and term infants 1. (Evidence: Expert opinion)
