Because of questions about the basis for the use of naloxone in resuscitation of the newborn, we wished to evaluate the use of naloxone at our institution and an affiliated hospital. ⋯ The use of naloxone in practice may not conform to the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines for use in resuscitation of the newborn. The use of naloxone in resuscitation of the newborn should be reevaluated.
