Abstract

In order to further enhance the capacity of primary healthcare providers to perform neonatal resuscitation, and to reduce the incidence and mortality of asphyxia-related complications, the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology, Society of Pediatrics, Chinese Medical Association, in collaboration with the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics, organized experts to integrate the latest clinical research advances in neonatal resuscitation. Considering the realities of primary healthcare institutions, this guideline was developed after thorough expert discussion. The guideline addresses nine common issues concerning neonatal resuscitation faced by primary healthcare providers and provides 22 recommendations.
