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. -

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. -

I agree with your comments. A combined intervention that should be tested in RCT before being implemented and of course this is just possible in places with continuous education in healthcare workers otherwise we should have problems. -

I agree with the Cpap in delivery room for both cases pre term and term specially in hospitals where we don’t have enough space in NICU. Of course we need to prepare our team to avoid the risks but in my reality earlier Cpap helps a lot! -

I agree that the RFM may not alter the outcome ,needs training of personnel . also it may take away the concentration of the resuscitator where time is of utmost importance especially in smaller places/centers -

Although clinically it is an intervention that we do intuitively, tactile stimulation should not delay the onset of ventilation or cause neurological damage to the NB. We have already performed tactile stimulation before, with good results. -

The practice of using CPAP in the delivery room should be more widespread, we know its benefits. In my opinion, what is lacking is the dissemination of good results, especially in premature babies. -

Suctioning of clear amniotic fluid is provided when there appears to be excessive fluid pouring out from the mouth and or nose and interfering with satisfactory respiration.
