Answer:

The initial steps of resuscitation include

1) providing warmth

2) positioning the head

3) Clearing the airways

4) drying the infant

5) Stimulate breathing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resuscitation at birth is done in a step-wise manner. Firstly, the baby is kept in warmth, then the head is positioned in sniffing position for opening airways, after that a bulb syringe or catheter is used to suck the airway secretions. Then the infant is dried and breathing is stimulated.
