Measure
SI+CC
Chest compression will be superimposed by sustained inflations during CPR: "CC+SI group" Infants randomized in the SI group requiring CC, would receive CC at a rate of 90/min during an SI with a duration of 20sec (CC+SI). After 20 sec the SI will be interrupted for 1 sec and the next SI will be started for another 20sec13. Throughout this time CC is continued until ROSC. Every 45 sec (approximately 2 SIs) the clinical team would assess for changes in heart rate. CC+SI was continued until ROSC. CC+SI: Chest compression will be superimposed by sustained inflation during CPR
3:1 CPR
CPR using 3:1 C:V ratio: "3:1 C:V group" Infants randomized into the "3:1 group" requiring CC, would received CC using the current 3:1 C:V ratio recommend in the neonatal resuscitation guidelines16. Every 45 sec the clinical team would assess heart rate. 3:1 C:V CPR was continued until ROSC. 3:1 CPR: CPR using 3:1 ratio (control group)
