No evidence for superiority of air or oxygen for neonatal resuscitation: a meta-analysis

摘要

Purpose The aim of this meta-analysis was to re-evaluate the evidence in favour of oxygen or room air as the initial gas mixture for neonatal resuscitation in terms of the following outcomes: death, hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy, need for tracheal intubation, and APGAR score—Appearance (skin color), Pulse (heart rate), Grimace (reflex irritability), Activity (muscle tone), and Respiration—at five minutes.
