The impact and/or significance of gasping or apnea on cardio-respiratory status at birth remains unclear. The study objectives were to determine in infants presenting with gasping or apnea in the delivery room, initial heart rate (HR), responses to positive pressure ventilation (PPV), time to onset of spontaneous respirations, and the relationship of these responses to 24-hour outcome (death/survival).
