Practical procedures for resuscitations of micropreemies

Although there are no standardized procedures for the resuscitation of micropreemies, respiratory and circulatory stabilization immediately after birth should be prioritized. Without aggressive support by positive pressure ventilation, establishing effective respiration among micropreemies is not possible. The first step of the resuscitation should be initiated by positive airway pressure with a bag and mask. Once the heart rate increases above 100 beats/m, intratracheal intubation should be followed.
