Difficult delivery room situations concerning resuscitation can pose major ethical, legal, and professional problems. As with any medical decision, careful and timely acquisition and analysis of the data and frank, open discussion among all the decision makers, including parents, pediatric staff, obstetrical staff, and consultants will allow optimal decisions to be made. Recognizing the problem of uncertainty before and even at birth is essential to these discussions.
