Abstract
New developments in newborn care include body fluid precautions, especially the use of gloves and the use of mechanical suction instead of oral suction. Artificial surfactant is still investigational, but results to date are favorable. A recent report may lead to modification of practices for management of infants with possible meconium aspiration.
