Abstract
Resuscitation is the most common procedure performed in neonatology. However, new contributions based on scientific evidence challenge the traditional procedures. Of these new contributions, the use of room-air instead of 100% oxygen and titration of the oxygen inspiratory fraction according to oximetry and heart rate represent a new approach in the resuscitation of both term and preterm newborns.
