AB  - Resuscitation  is  derived  from  the  Latin  word  resuscitare,  meaning  “to  revive.”1  Although  the  majority  of  births  involve  no  or  little  intervention  on  behalf  of  the  neonate,  approximately  10%  of  newborns  need  some  form  of  resuscitation,  and  1%  require  extensive  maneuvers,  such  as  endotracheal  intubation,  intravascular  access,  and  drug  delivery  in  the  delivery  room  (DR).2  The  transition  from  fetus  to  neonate  requires  a  number  of  physiologic  changes,  most  of  which  must  happen  immediately  in  the  seconds  and  minutes  after  birth.  When  these  transitions  fail  to  occur,  or  the  fetus  has  been  compromised  because  of  intrinsic  disease  or  utero  events,  resuscitation  is  necessary  to  optimize  the  chances  of  a  normal  outcome.
