Seconds to Save: Sharpening Skills & Mindsets in Neonatal Resuscitation
Every birth is a moment of profound possibility — but when a baby needs help to breathe, the team has only seconds to save a life. This December, three internationally recognized leaders in neonatal science are coming together to explore how we can sharpen not only our skills, but also our mindsets, to improve newborn outcomes around the world.
Hosted by the Center for the Studies of Asphyxia and Resuscitation (CSAR), this half-day event brings cutting-edge science, real-world teamwork insights, and the newest evidence into one powerful program.
December 17, 2025 • 1:00-4:00 PM CST, Certificates of Attendance Provided

Meet the Speakers
Dr. Georg Schmölzer
Director, Center for the Studies of Asphyxia and Resuscitation (CSAR), University of Alberta, Canada
World leader in neonatal resuscitation research, continuous chest compressions with sustained inflation, and physiologic monitoring in the delivery room.
Dr. Nathan Sundgren
Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Section of Neonatology, Baylor College of Medicine, United States
Expert in neonatal education, cognitive load, and how communication and team dynamics influence real-time outcomes.
Dr. Anup Katheria
Director, Neonatal Research Institute, Sharp Mary Birch Hospital, United States
Global pioneer in umbilical cord management and innovative practices that support safer transition for newborns.
Key Topics We’ll Explore
What’s next in neonatal resuscitation? A look at emerging science and the unanswered questions shaping future practice.
Teamwork behind the algorithm. How roles, communication, and workflow influence performance during the most time-critical moments.
The newest evidence on physiologic cord clamping. How smarter cord management supports a smoother transition from womb to world.
Agenda
1:00-2:00 PM: Bridging the Gap: Neonatal Resuscitation Questions Still Waiting for Answers
Speaker: Dr. Georg Schmolzer
2:00-3:00 PM: Hidden in Plain Sight: Teamwork Behind the Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm
Speaker: Dr. Nathan C. Sundgren
3:00-4:00 PM: From Delivery to Transition: Updated Evidence-Based Practices for Umbilical Cord Management
Speaker: Dr. Anup C. Katheria
4:00 PM: Closing Remarks
Why This Event Matters
Every resuscitation is a race against time — and the best outcomes happen when science, skill, teamwork, and mindset come together seamlessly. Whether you’re a clinician, trainee, researcher, or simply passionate about newborn care, this event will offer insights that can translate to meaningful change at the bedside.
Join us as we continue building a future where every baby gets the best possible start.
will be a very interesting seminar. The first question I would like to ask is why you think a special cradle kit is needed to perform resuscitation with an intact umbilical cord in non-vigorous, term infants, in whom the importance of restoring a more physiological circulatory volume depends on their breathing with the support of positive pressure ventilation (PPV). This can be achieved with a basic T-piece set with an FiO2 of 21% in the delivery or cesarean section area, with support as basic as a Mayo stand plus a thermal mattress or a plastic support like a baby bath tub. All that is needed is for the entire team—gynecologist, anesthesiologist, and nurse—to be coordinated to provide support, and for…
