Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Neonatal resuscitation practices and outcomes: establishing the Delivery Room Intervention and Evaluation (DRIVE) network registry
Authors' conclusion
DRIVE is a novel multicenter delivery room registry. Registry data characterize resuscitation performance across participating hospitals and highlight inter-hospital variation in delivery room practices.
