Preparing Supplies and Equipment for Neonatal Resuscitation

Every facility should have a standardized checklist for neonatal resuscitation supplies and equipment. Everything the team may need during a resuscitation should be placed within reach. The checklist includes preventive maintenance and scheduled tests of equipment so that everything is always in working order. When the team learns about a possible high-risk birth, they quickly access the necessary supplies for thermoregulation and respiratory support.
