So last month we considered Maternal Emergencies and the approach and interventions we can make in order to minimise complications during pregnancy and during childbirth. As promised this month we’re looking at the next step along the process and focussing on Newborn Life Support.
The new ERC guidelines for 2021 have just been released and are shown below.
Dealing with newborns has the potential to be really stressful but hopefully by concentrating on the fundamentals and guidelines we’ll all be able to approach the situation with greater confidence.
Let us know any thought and comments you have on the podcast.
Enjoy!
Now that you have listened to the podcast, start the quiz to add it to your CPD Diary
