3) Supraglottic airways might be beneficial in dificult Airways, but must have training during the courses of neonatal resuscitation, since most physicians don't use it very often. -

I believe that tactile stimulation cannot delay ventilation in hypotonic and apnea neonates. -

CPAP in the delivery room avoids many hospitalizations in a NICU, makes us achieve skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding in the first hour. It is fundamental! -

I think it is important that professionals who attend the delivery room are aware and trained for the devices they can use during care. The supraglottic device is a valid option for ventilation, especially in difficult airways, but robust studies are still lacking for a recommendation for routine use. -

Delivery room heart rate monitoring in my practice is an excellent tool. when is available and with a resuscitation team prepared for use this makes the team more confident. But again we need to training more our healthcare team how to use the monitors and make a effort to our hospitals invest in this technology. -

I believe that it is valid to perform tactile stimulation soon after birth, while early clamping of the umbilical cord is being arranged, but observing to not delay the beginning of the initial steps -

I agree with the use of CPAP at the deliver room, so in preterm NB as in term NB. It helps to reduce respiratory distress. -

I have no experience with supraglottic airway. -

In my services we don’t use laryngeal mask as routine so my concern is about the correct use and not delay resuscitation But I believe it is an effective alternative in difficult airway. -

In our service we use CPAP in term and preterm patients when necessary. This apparently reduces the time of observation of the newborn in the delivery room and the need for admissions to the NICU, considering that there is often a lack of available intensive care places. Complications attributed to the use of CPAP rarely occur. However, they are very valid questions for study.
