    Neonatal Life Support

    • Maintaining body temperature is crucial in neonatal life support, and this can be achieved by placing the newborn on the mother's abdomen or chest, or using a warm mattress or heat lamp.
    • During neonatal resuscitation, it is crucial to simultaneously provide free-flow oxygen and stimulate the newborn to breathe.
    • A key consideration in providing respiratory support to a newborn is to use a gentle and gradual increase in positive pressure ventilation (PPV) to avoid lung injury.
