ILCOR Advisory Statement: Resuscitation of the Newly Born Infant

Abstract

Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC), Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa (RCSA), and Council of Latin America for Resuscitation (CLAR). 2] The advisory statement on pediatric resuscitation 6 highlighted areas of consensus, conflict, or controversy and provided recommendations in the areas of pediatric basic life support (BLS), pediatric advanced life support (ALS), and BLS for the newly born. The great potential for worldwide improvement in BLS resuscitation for the newly born was acknowledged, but discussion of ALS for the newly born was beyond the scope of the previous document.
