Describe the distribution of the first recorded heart rate (HR) in apnoeic term/near-term newborns, HR responses to basic resuscitation (no intubation, chest compressions and/or medication), and relationship to 24-h outcomes. We also document patient characteristics and care provider behaviour stratified by first HR. ⋯ The first recorded HR was distributed into two peaks on each side of 100 bpm. Ventilation increased HR in most newborns. Lower first and final HR were related to gradually more adverse 24-h outcomes.
