The use of dry-electrode ECG heart rate monitoring did not change the proportion of newborns that received ventilation within 60 s after birth, but early termination due to employee protests to video recordings rendered the trial inadequately powered to detect a difference. Breathing status was likely a more important determinant of starting ventilation than bradycardia
