Abstract
Birth is a relatively hypoxic experience that newborns must undertake but this is generally well tolerated. The role of those responsible for Newborn Life Support is to follow best practice guidance to support those babies who need assistance with this transition from intrauterine to extra-uterine life. This article aims to give a practical guide to supporting the transition of both term and preterm infants including the recent changes to the published guidance.
