Neonatal resuscitation in community hospitals is problematic because of the lack of on-site personnel with adequate training and experience. Even when efforts are made to transport high-risk mothers to tertiary care centers, the most complex resuscitations must occasionally be performed in all obstetric services. This dilemma can result in increased neonatal morbidity and mortality, and is reflected in the obstetric malpractice crisis. We present an approach to the problem in which a tertiary center actively intervenes to assist regional community hospitals to develop and implement resuscitation team capabilities. Key aspects of the system are training and implementation of hospital shift "Code Pink" teams composed of nonphysician professionals, a regional neonatal resuscitation protocol used by all participants, "mock code" resuscitation drills to maintain skills, and extensive quality assurance both at the local hospital and regional levels.
