Neonatal resuscitation continues to be challenged by evolving research on the best approach to resuscitating preterm infants while minimizing potential health risks. The actions of the resuscitation team in the first minutes of transition to extrauterine life can have a lasting impact on the growth and development of the preterm infant. ⋯ Future studies should be focused on pulse oximetry use in the delivery room and its effect on long-term outcomes for preterm infants, safe oxygen saturation target ranges for the preterm infant in the delivery room, and effective resuscitation procedures for extremely preterm infants.
