Summary
The ERC Guidelines 2025 on Newborn Life Support, based on the ILCOR Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations, set out a structured approach to resuscitation and support of transition at birth for preterm and term infants. They cover antenatal factors, training and education, thermal control, umbilical cord management, initial assessment, airway, breathing and circulation interventions, and emergency vascular access. The guidance also addresses low-resource and out-of-hospital settings, communication with parents, and withholding or discontinuing life-sustaining treatment.
