Summary
National consensus guideline from a Philippine Society of Newborn Medicine working group on decision-making around resuscitation of extremely preterm infants in the Philippines. It was developed from local outcome data, a survey of paediatricians and neonatologists, and a consensus workshop. Key themes are consistency in decision-making, incorporating parental views and resource availability, and offering either active or palliative management. It endorses a grey zone of approximately 24 to 28 weeks' gestation, reflecting the low- and middle-income country context.
