We appreciate Dr Katzman's interest in this complex issue. His position is similar to that previously suggested by Auld1 and would certainly suggest an increased need for more neonatologists.

The current number of neonatologists has already had a significant impact on regionalization and upon the practicing pediatrician.2 Katzman suggests that neonatal-perinatal medical care skills include resuscitation of as-phyxiated newborns, identification and treatment of high-risk newborns, management of respiratory failure, and evacuation of pneumothorax.
