Abstract: The new neonatal resuscitation guidelines was published in 2011 in China,which said no more neonatal asphyxia resuscitation guidelines as used,and showed a correct statement as the same as international that,also contained a deep essence meaning which would bring about some new thought and new behavior on neonatal resuscitation.There are three aspects should be realized:( 1 ) the diagnosis of neonatal asphyxia is extremely strict abroad now,which demonstrates that asphyxia is a after-resuscitation event instead of before-resuscitation one,and only failure of resuscitation will cause a asphyxia.Therefore,it is no suitable to say asphyxia resuscitation ; ( 2 ) in neonatal resuscitation algorithm,it never mentions asphyxia or not from birth to resuscitation finished; ( 3 ) under thinking shackle of the mistake concept asphyxia resuscitation,resuscitation behavior usually becomes more passive and inactive,and though the guidelines are the same,the resuscitation results are different between our country and abroad.So,changing conception,and resuscitation first,will be beneficial to decreasing neonatal asphyxia mortality to international level at which we might have arrived originally.
