Most newborns start spontaneously breathing and crying after birth. However, some newborns have a need for resuscitation. Resuscitation is considered any procedure that led to the appearance of the first cry and the appearance of breathing. A large number of newborns who need reanimation need only time to adapt to new conditions out of uterus and need tactile stimulation. Newborns can withstand 20 minutes without breathing. If a newborn does not recover from tactile stimulation, follow other reanimation procedures. Though assessment of newborns, we use Apgar test that can show us the general state of newborn. The resuscitation is accessed using the "ABCD" approach or "ABC" in the basic life support. I t is very important to mantain heat when it comes to delivering newborns. Heat loss and newborn hypothermia have great influence on vital functions and prognosis. If the newborn does not breathe, we must open the airway by aspiration of the nose and mouth and set the head in a neutral position. The jaw thrust is also used as a method for opening the respiratory tract. Next, it continues with 5 inflation blows that should open the lung alveoli and expel the rest of the amniotic fluid from the lungs. The cause of non breathing of a newborn after delivery can be obstruction of the respiratory tract with meconium, vernix flakes or blood clots. The vast majority of newborns regain breathing for the first time after a couple of inflation blows. If the inflation blows do not work, ventilation blows are applied with aids such as mask and self expandable balloon used for inflation, a laryngeal mask may be used, and the newborn can be intubated. There are many reasons why a newborn does not breathe in the first few minutes of life, and may include mechanical obstruction of the respiratory tract, loss of respiratory stimulus, and inability to breathe because of some muscular or neurological factors. During ventilation, it is necessary to observe the newborn and his chest lift in order to establish a high degree of airway openness and ventilation. When the infant is well ventilated and still does not have heart rate or is below 60 beats per minute, we apply chest compressions. Chest compression can be applied in two ways: two finger compressions and two thumb compressions. The way we do the compression depends on the availability of the help we have. Compression occurs in the middle of the imaginary line that connects the nipples. The chest is pressed for one third of the depth of the thorax. Compression and ventilation ratio according to guidelines is 3: 1. If the compression does not restore heart frequency and breathing, drugs are being used. The drugs used in reanimation of newborns are: adrenaline, sodium bicarbonate, glucose and the blood volume compensators. When medicines do not affect bradycardia and apnea of newborns, it is important to consider some of the other factors and illnesses that can affect them. It is necessary to know the difference in the parameters used in resuscitation in the postpartum period. In the case of newborns who have no heart rate after 10 minutes and the Apgar at 10 minutes scores 0, it is recommended to stop the resuscitation. It is always necessary to ask the parents about their wishes.
