INTRODUCTION National guidance on neonatal life support (NLS) is regulated by the Resuscitation Council UK, and the NLS guidelines were updated in May 2021. This process was led by systematic reviews by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) in collaboration with the European Resuscitation Council and accredited by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The NLS algorithm (figure 1) is the hallmark in guidance for newborn resuscitation. In this guideline review, we discuss the key changes made to practice, explore the current and ongoing controversies in neonatal resuscitation and review emerging evidence, which may shape future guidance.
