Infant Resuscitation

Infant resuscitation is a lifesaving technique used when a newborn isn't breathing or has no heartbeat. It involves a few key steps: first, ensuring the environment is safe. Then, checking if the baby is responsive. If not, gentle back slaps and chest compressions may be applied to help them breathe. It’s essential to call for emergency help immediately. The steps can differ based on the baby’s age, but the goal is to restore breathing and circulation until professional medical assistance arrives. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to learn these techniques for emergency situations.
