1. Birth
  2. Dry baby and perform initial check- assess tone, breathing and heart rate
  3. If gasping or not breathing- open airway, give five inflation breaths and consider oxygen and ECG monitoring
  4. Reassess- look for improvement and response in heart rate and chest movement during inflation
  5. If chest not moving- optimise airway control, repeat inflation breaths, give oxygen (if not given already), consider ECG monitoring (if not already doing so) and look for a response
  6. If no increase in heart rate at this point, re-assess for chest movement and repeat above steps if necessary
  7. When chest is moving- if heart rate <60 bpm, ventilate for 30 seconds
  8. At this point, reassess heart rate- if heart rate still <60 bpm, commence chest compressions at a rate of 3:1
  9. Continue this process, re-assessing every 30 seconds- if heart rate remains <60 bpm, consider venous or osseous access and administering drugs
  10. Throughout process: Keep the parents updated, and keep a record of time and timings of interventions
