Delivery and Immediate Neonatal Care Book

The child must be thoroughly monitored and evaluated in the hours and days following resuscitation. Consider arrangements for advanced care for any of the following:

• Birth weight <1500 g
• Difficult breathing, cyanosis, apnea
• High or low temperature (normal axillary temperature: 36.5–37.5ºC), seizures, poor responsiveness, poor feeding, persistent alterations of muscle tone, or severe jaundice.

Record details of resuscitation procedures and results as part of a permanent document for the child.
