Suction of clear amniotic fluid can be useful when there is excessive fluid in the airways (mouth and or nose), interfering with satisfactory respiration. -

Delivery room heart rate monitoring is an excellent evolution. However, just as important, it is a resuscitation team prepared for use. We need to train our healthcare teams more how to use the monitors and make an effort for our hospitals to invest in this technology. -

I believe that auscultation with pulse oximetry is enough for heart rate assessment at the delivery room. Only in case of suspicions of heart disease or other problems, it will be monitored with ECG at an intensive care, for example, or it will be searched with more diagnostic tools. -

I agree that suctioning of clear amniotic fluid from the nose and mouth should not be used as a routine step for newborn infants at birth. -

The use of effective cardiac rhythm monitoring in the delivery room can shorten decision making during resuscitation. The investment brings invaluable benefits -

I agree that monitoring heart rate provides better assesment of the newborn during ressuscitation. However, Hospital must provide the equipment, and this is impossible in some places. -

The use of heart rate monitoring provides accuracy to the assesment of the newborn during ressuscitation. Hospital must make an effort to provide the toll.
