Neonatal Life Support: Where Do We Go from Here?

Dear Colleagues,

Over the years, we have relied on our training, experience, and guidelines to improve our approach to newborn resuscitation. As our understanding of neonatal physiology (especially from translational research) and clinical research continues to evolve, so does the evidence that supports best practices for neonatal resuscitation. In this Special Issue, we will explore the evolving evidence for neonatal resuscitation and its implications for clinical practice. We will examine the latest research on topics that will help to manage and improve newborn resuscitation and outcomes. For the smallest and most vulnerable patients in our care, this Special Issue will focus on the latest evidence-based practices for neonatal resuscitation.

We invite you to contribute articles on neonatal resuscitation to this Special Issue. Both reviews and original research supporting all aspects of newborn resuscitation will be considered for publication.

Thank you.

Dr. Praveen Chandrasekharan
Guest Editor
