Abstract

There can be few more challenging scenarios for non-paediatric intensive care teams than the initial management and stabilisation of a sick neonate. The 2 articles in this series will provide practical advice for doctors and nurses from adult critical care, anaesthesia, paediatric and emergency medicine backgrounds. The first part of the series focuses on recognition and initial management of neonatal collapse.
