The steps to determine whether the baby requires resuscitation:
1) Is the baby clear of meconium?
If there is meconium in the amniotic fluid or the baby's skin that the movement is weak, it is necessary to intubation and suctioning of meconium in the trachea before doing any other resuscitation measures. This decision should not be more than a few seconds.
2) Is the baby breathing or crying?
Breathing can be seen by observing the baby's chest. Also indicates a strong cry breathing. However, do not be fooled by the baby gasping for breath. Gasping respiration may be one or more breathing in a shallow breathing caused by hypoxia or ischemia. This is a sign of depression, neurologic or severe respiratory depression.
3) What is a good muscle tone?
Healthy term infants extremity in a state of flexion and move on.
4) Is the baby pink?
Baby's skin color changed from blue to red in the first moments after birth are the most immediate visible signs of the existence of adequate breathing and circulation. Skin colors are best determined by looking at the middle of the baby's body. Cyanosis caused by a deficiency of oxygen in the blood will be visible on the lips, tongue, and the center of the body. Sometimes a healthy baby at birth showed central cyanosis, but in a few seconds will disappear and turn into red. Sacred Cyanosis is a bluish color that is only seen in hands and feet and may survive for some time. If not accompanied with central cyanosis does not mean low oxygen levels. Only central cyanosis requires intervention.
5) Is the baby was born just months?
If the answer to all these questions "yes" baby should be forwarded to the transitional care and then regular maintenance. If one question is answered "no" babies need resuscitation.
