The care of newborn infants has evolved over the past 50 years from essentially simple, anecdotal and empirical processes to evidence-based, high technology, intensive care medicine, accompanied by a dramatic decline in mortality and increasing intact survival of many fragile extremely preterm infants and improving outcomes for infants exposed to perinatal asphyxia. Many factors have been responsible for these improved outcomes, but they all stem from the development of Neonatology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine as clinical specialties in their own right. Through these organizational disciplines, physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals have developed as teams, formalizing training, quality control, and simulation programs to provide high quality, standardized, state-of-the-art care. However, despite the huge advances in knowledge, care for newborn babies still represents a very careful balance between benefit and harm.Around the time that the Society of Critical Care Medicine and Journal were being formed in 1971, care for newborn babies was usually carried out as part of the woman’s maternity care and interest in the newborn was only slowly awakening. Many early attempts to improve care had floundered when unexpected complications ensued (Table 1). Despite this, dramatic falls in neonatal mortality had occurred over the 20th century associated with the introduction of better population nutrition and antisepsis (10). The seeds for the informed development of neonatal care had been sown, but recognizable Neonatal Critical Care emerged around this time with the recognition that the application of good science and the use of clinical trials could safely proceed.
