Resuscitating a non-vigorous meconium infant — OSCE

Station brief (8–10 minutes)

A term infant is born through thick meconium-stained liquor. He is limp and apnoeic. You are the registrar leading the resuscitation, with a skilled neonatal nurse present. Demonstrate the first 60 seconds, decide whether to intubate and suction, manage escalation, and plan post-resuscitation stabilisation. State guideline doses and thresholds and name the source.
