I don't mind using PEWS as long as it is followed by some specifics of what exactly is wrong with the patient. " Can you see this patient because he is pewsing a 12" should be avoided. -

I believe that the use of ECG in the delivery room will add to what is currently being done, but its use must be trained and there are also hospitals that do not have the conditions to have access to ECG in delivery room. -

I agree. The use of ECG allows more accurace during ressuscitation. -

The importance of this tool for precision in decision making is indisputable. All units must be equipped with monitors for heart rate control. -

It is already known that suctioning the nostrils and mouth of vigorous newborns is of no benefit. However, it is still cultural that many colleagues still practice this step. I only perform aspiration of the airways of neonates with excess secretion that can prevent the reestablishment of effective breathing. -

Respiratory rate does not seem to be a safe parameter in the assessment of decision-making during resuscitation because it can be erratic, causing confusion in the assessment and delay in ventilation. -

I am in favor HR monitoring by chest auscultation, as it is faster than the oximeter or the DR ECG. If the reanimation passes two minutes, then the ECG would be ideal, assuming there is one available, which isn't often the case. Also, the ECG requires training about how to use as well as to interpret its results. -

Amniotic Liquid Sucction must be used if necessary -

I think that neonatal reanimation is supposed to be a fast (about 10 to 20 minutes) and automated dynamic and the HR monitoring in the Delivery Room may slow it down. For that reason, my opinion is that it is unnecessary in the DR.
