Neonatal Resuscitation

Neonatal resuscitation is a set of procedures used to help newborns who are struggling to breathe or have a low heart rate immediately after birth. It ensures that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to vital organs. This process can include positioning the baby, providing gentle stimulation, clearing the airway, and sometimes administering breaths using a bag-mask device. Trained healthcare providers follow guidelines to assess and support the newborn’s condition quickly and effectively, helping to improve the chances of survival and long-term health.
