Neonatal CPR

Neonatal CPR is a lifesaving procedure used when a newborn isn’t breathing or doesn’t have a heart beat. It involves gently providing rescue breaths to deliver oxygen and performing chest compressions to help restart the heart. The goal is to restore normal breathing and circulation quickly. The process is gentle and carefully coordinated, typically performed by trained professionals, but caregivers may be guided by medical staff in emergencies. Effective neonatal CPR can be critical for improving the baby's chance of survival and reducing potential brain injury.
