Breathing is Best: A Focused Approach to Neonatal Resuscitation for Prehospital Providers

This presentation provides paramedics with a practical, evidence-based approach to neonatal resuscitation, emphasizing rapid assessment, effective team coordination, and early, decisive interventions during the critical first minutes of life. Attendees will learn a focused approach to neonatal resuscitation, learn to prepare for and recognize neonatal distress after delivery, and gain confidence in performing essential skills such as airway management, positive pressure ventilation, and chest compressions. Through interactive case scenarios, participants will strengthen their ability to stabilize newborns in both prehospital and interfacility transport settings, improving outcomes for the most vulnerable patients.
