Description: Segment 1 Dr Harvey introduces the subject and gives a history of the treatment of severely asphyxiated newborns. An image of Louise Bourgeois, midwife to Marie de Medici (17th century) is shown, who supposedly revived the newborn Louise XIII by spitting wine into his mouth. He describes other strange methods of resuscitating newborns such as taking the beak of a live hen and putting it in the baby's rectum. An image of a 19th century resuscitation is shown, which involved dangling the baby between the physician's legs. Another showing the baby being thrown into a 'jackknife' position is shown. Harvey shows a chart describing the results of an experiment on an asphyxiated newborn rabbit and talks through the stages of the experiment.

He shows the apparatus needed to actively resusciate a baby with more severe asphyxiation, including tools such as a mucus extractor and swaddler. He also shows the equipment needed for intubation and describes how to perform an intubtation.

He also shows the drugs used in resuscitation and describes their dosages. He then describes cardiac massage for babies born without a heart beat or if heart rate is very slow. Harvey demonstrates cardiac massage and describes the correct procedure. The film ends with Harvey emphasising that resuscitation can be very simple and can also be performed by doing mouth-to-mouth ventilation.
