Newborn Resuscitation Guide

According to the World Health Organization’s statistics from 1994: Approximately 1 million out of 5 million newborn deaths each year are due to newborn asphyxia, making it one of the leading causes of infant mortality, accounting for 20-30%. The guide aims to ensure that at least one trained and skilled newborn resuscitation personnel is present during each delivery. Secondly, strengthen collaboration between obstetrics and gynecology departments, with pediatricians participating in discussions before or during high-risk pregnant women’s deliveries or surgeries, waiting at the delivery bed for asphyxia resuscitation, and responsible for the care and ward rounds of asphyxiated children. Moreover, under the intervention of health administrative leaders, rehabilitation guidance and regular training will be institutionalized, with continuous training, retraining, regular evaluations, and the provision of rehabilitation equipment. Each level of hospital should establish a resuscitation leadership team composed of obstetricians, pediatricians, midwives (science), and anesthesiologists.
