Overview

Effective stabilization and resuscitation in the delivery room are essential for premature infants. As the gestational age of the infants decreases, the need for medical interventions increases. The European Consensus Guidelines on the Management of Respiratory Distress Syndrome recommendations reflect the current knowledge development in the postnatal transition of premature infants. However, there is no evidence targeting specific groups of extremely premature infants. Nevertheless, the implementation of targeted guidelines can benefit the most fragile newborns. This publication aims to provide the current recommendations from the European Consensus, supplemented with internal guidelines from the Neonatal intensive care units at the Department of Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Neonatology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague, which are based on their data and experiences.

Keywords:
