  • Neonatal mortality is a major health care concern worldwide. Neonatal resuscitation alone does not address most causes of neonatal mortality; caregivers need to be trained in both neonatal resuscitation and stabilization. Neonatal stabilization requires caregivers to evaluate whether babies are at-risk or unwell, to decide what interventions are required, and to act on those decisions. Several programs address neonatal stabilization in a variety of levels of care in both well-resourced and limited health care environments. This article suggests a shift in clinical, educational, and implementation science from a focus on resuscitation to one on the resuscitation-stabilization continuum.
