AB Neonates  are  defined  as  being  less  than  1  month  of  age.  Often  times,  cardiopulmonary  resuscitation  is  required  at  birth  (Figure  172-1).  Upon  delivery,  neonatal  well-being  is  assessed  with  the  APGAR  scoring  system  (Table  172-1).  The  APGAR  score  at  1  and  5  minutes  (and  then  in  5-minute  intervals  thereafter  if  needed)  may  be  used  to  assess  resuscitative  success.  Risk  factors  that  predict  need  for  resuscitative  efforts  include  preterm  delivery  (<37  weeks)  and  neonates  born  to  febrile  mothers.  Causes  of  cardiopulmonary  depression  include  intraventricular  hemorrhage  (affecting  tonsillar  pillars),  meconium  aspiration,  bronchopulmonary  dysplasia,  and  congenital  heart  disease.
