Post-Resuscitation care encompasses 3 levels:
1. Routine Care – when the baby is vigorous and may stay with mother. Provide warmth, clear airway, dry and assess baby’s color
2. Observational Care – when the baby requires initial steps under the radiant warmer due to depressed breathing or activity, meconium-stained amniotic fluid or cyanosis. Manage with frequent evaluation and perhaps admission to a transitional nursery.
3. Post-resuscitation care – when the baby received PPV or more extensive resuscitation and is at high risk for recurrent deterioration or subsequent complications. Manage where ongoing evaluation and monitoring are available. Neonatal intensive care may be necessary
