A baby is born at 34 weeks'. Despite initial steps being taken the baby is apnic and the heart rate is 70. What steps should be taken next?

In this scenario, immediate resuscitation is essential. Begin by providing positive pressure ventilation (PPV) using a bag-mask device to support the baby's breathing and improve oxygenation. Ensure to monitor the heart rate continuously and, if it remains below 60 beats per minute, initiate chest compressions in conjunction with PPV. Additionally, consider administering epinephrine if the heart rate does not improve with these measures.
