In a multicenter randomized controlled trial the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of the novel heart rate meter NeoBeat on ventilation performance and short-term outcomes compared to standard care in newborns in need of positive pressure ventilation to initiate spontaneous breathing after birth.

NeoBeat will be placed on all newborns immediately after birth to assess the heartrate for at least 5 minutes, or longer if the newborn needs resuscitation. Intervention subjects will have a visible display of the heart rate on the NeoBeat, to guide healthcare providers in further management of the newborn.
NeoBeat will be placed on the newborn to collect information on heart rate, but heart rate is not displayed to the healthcare providers. If the newborn is in need of resuscitation to initiate spontaneous respiration, the baby will be transferred to the resuscitation bay. According to recommendations the heart rate should be assessed and positive pressure ventilation initiated within one minute of life. Standard care is to assess heart rate by conventional ECG and/or pulse oximetry, alternatively auscultation of the heart.
NeoBeat (Laerdal Medical) is a CE approved novel heart rate meter, able to detect heart rate in newborns within seconds of birth. The NeoBeat uses ECG dry-electrodes in a snug-fit abdomen-shaped buckle for rapid application around the newborn's abdomen or thorax. It allows healthcare providers to reliably assess heart rate of the newborn immediately after birth and continuously during resuscitation.
