(This section is meant for residents to check their understanding regarding a particular topic) QUESTIONS 1. In which circumstances is resuscitation required in a neonate? 2. What are the clinical parameters of initiating resuscitation in the newborn? 3. What are the steps and sequence in re-suscitation? 4. What is " initial assessment " ? 5. What factors are critical for successful resuscitati...

BACKGROUND Competency in neonatal resuscitation is critical in the delivery rooms, neonatology units and pediatrics intensive care units to ensure the safety and health of neonates. Each year, millions of babies do not breathe immediately at birth, and among them the majority require basic neonatal resuscitation. Perinatal asphyxia is a major contributor to neonatal deaths worldwide in resource...

Background: Neonatal resuscitation (NR) is a means to restore life of baby from the state asphyxia. It singlemost important intervention for neonates with birth Resuscitation in more challenging than thatof an adult or even older infant child. Poor techniques can contribute poor outcome neonateswith Nurses being front-liners receive newborn babies, level knowledge about NR amongthem affect thes...

Background: The Neonatal Resuscitation Program highlights the importance of a newborn's first minute, "Golden Minute", during which pediatrician determines if newborn requires, and initiates advanced resuscitation. From birth to neonatal evaluation, we detect periods that call "Lost Time", delay resuscitation because it is not controlled: "adequate position" in gynecologists must "pass" pediatr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of intrapartum magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection (MgSO4-FN) with the delivery room resuscitation and neonatal outcomes of preterm infants in an era of minimisation of invasive mechanical ventilation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Neonatal intensive care units in the Canadian Neonatal Network. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION Preterm in...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the neonatal resuscitation competence of obstetrical trainees to assess the gap in knowledge and to determine training needs. METHODS The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Civil Hospital, Karachi, from January to March 2013 and comprised House Officers and Postgraduate trainees. A questionnaire was used to test the evalu...

AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of a strategy for teaching neonatal resuscitation on the cognitive knowledge of health professionals who attend deliveries in Ghana, West Africa. METHODS Train-the-trainer model was used to train health professionals at 2-3 day workshops from 2003 to 2007. Obstetric Anticipatory Care and Basic Neonatal Care modules were taught as part of Neonatal Resuscitatio...

BACKGROUND Neonatal resuscitation is a common and important intervention, and adequate ventilation is the key to success. In the delivery room, positive pressure ventilation is given with manual ventilation devices using face masks. Mannequins are widely used to teach and practise this technique. During both simulated and real neonatal resuscitation, chest excursion is used to assess tidal volu...

Aim: To investigate secular changes in neonatal resuscitation at birth. Methods: Single centre observational study of 17 890 infants born between May 1993 and April 1997. T-piece ventilation was introduced in April 1995. Observations: Rates and modes of ventilatory resuscitation, early neonatal encephalopathy, neonatal convulsions, and meconium aspiration syndrome; 1 and 5 min Apgar scores; mat...
