Neonatal resuscitation where resources are limited.

This article reviews neonatal resuscitation techniques that can be used where resources are limited. The topic of delayed cord clamping is discussed in detail as an example of an evidence evaluation in which an important segment of the research has been conducted in developing countries. Thermal protection, clearing the airway, and assisted ventilation are discussed as areas in which some evidence exists from research in the developing world, but more work is needed to bring the full benefit of appropriate intervention to newborns in settings where resources are limited.
