The development and implementation of a multidisciplinary neonatal resuscitation team in a Canadian perinatal centre

Assignment of level of risk provides a safe means of delivering neonatal resuscitation services, facilitating NRT attendance at the majority of deliveries that required resuscitation. A NRT can perform safely and effectively in a tertiary perinatal centre with off-site support from experienced neonatal staff at high-risk deliveries only. Caseroom (delivery room) staff should continue to be trained in neonatal resuscitation.
