Neonatal resuscitation.

You should have been trained in this.

If you are not up to date, you should remedy this pronto.

A baby's welfare could depend on your skills.

A tutorial from your paediatric registrar or consultant is a good idea, even if you think you are expert.

The necessary theoretical knowledge is beautifully covered in the article by Hassan & Farrer in OGRM, April 2009.

It also gives you all the practical advice you need for clinical practice and for the exam.
