Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Evidence-Based Practice in Neonatal Resuscitation among Birth Asphyxiated Newborns in a Developing Country.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The World Health Organization emphasizes that neonatal resuscitation performed in the first "golden minute" following birth can influence both immediate and long-term outcomes of newborns, especially asphyxiated ones. The modes of resuscitation, which is an evidenced-based practice, require evaluation to identify their effectiveness.

Objectives

This study evaluated neonatal resuscitation techniques and their effectiveness in the management of asphyxiated neonates during the perinatal period.
