Feasibility and acceptability of using the BabySaver resuscitation platform and NeoBeat together for neonatal resuscitation in a low-resource setting: A pre-post implementation study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

BabySaver and NeoBeat devices have the potential to enable bedside neonatal resuscitation, with an intact cord in the presence of the mother. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using them together for neonatal resuscitation in a low-resource setting.

Methods

This was a mixed methods study conducted over a period of 11 months at Mbale Hospital in Uganda. We enrolled 150 mother-infant dyads into a pre-post study.
