AB Approximately  10%  of  all  newborns  need  help  with  breathing  at  the  time  of  birth,  and  1  in  1000  newborns  require  resuscitation  with  chest  compressions  and  cardiac  medications.  Given  the  high  frequency  of  newborn  resuscitation,  it  is  vital  that  all  neonatal  healthcare  workers  are  trained  and  competent  to  provide  resuscitation  to  babies  in  need.  Newborn  resuscitation  cannot  always  be  anticipated  in  time  to  transfer  the  mother  before  delivery  to  a  facility  with  specialized  neonatal  support.  Therefore,  every  hospital  with  a  delivery  suite  should  have  a  skilled  resuscitation  team  (see  Chapter  4,  “Neonatal  Transport”)  and  appropriate  equipment  available  (Table  3–1).
