Neonatal resuscitation is an intervention performed on babies after birth to help them breathe and for their heart to beat properly. It is needed for about 10% of babies who have trouble transitioning from receiving oxygen from the placenta to breathing on their own. Proper neonatal resuscitation training and equipment can reduce infant mortality from complications during birth by 30%.

3. What is Neonatal Resuscitation?
• Neonatal Resuscitation is an intervention
after a baby is born to help it breathe
and to help its heart beat.

4. TRANSITION FROM PLACENTA TO LUNGS
• Before a baby is born,
the placenta provides
oxygen and nutrition to
the blood and removes
carbon dioxide
• After a baby is born, the
lungs provide oxygen to
the blood and remove
carbon dioxide.

5. WHEN THIS TRANSITION OCCURS?
• The transition from
using the placenta to
using the lungs for gas
exchange begins when
the umbilical cord is
clamped or tied off, and
the baby has its first
breath.

6. NEONATAL RESUSCITATION-WHY?
• 100 million babies born worldwide annually
• 5 million neonatal deaths occur annually
• 19% of 5 million neonatal deaths occur
annually due to birth asphyxia
• Better outcome of these babies are possible
only by neonatal resuscitation

7. NEONATAL RESUSCITATION-WHY?
• 90% of neonates successful transition without
any help
• 10% require some assistance to begin
breathing
• 1% require intensive resuscitative efforts
• Successful neonatal resuscitation prevent
large proportion of deaths

8. RISK FACTORS

9. RISK FACTORS

IN OLDEN DAYS….

12. Schultze Method The Dew method

13. Silvester’s Method
• It involved the abduction and adduction
of the arms and shoulders, to increase
and decrease the intra-thoracic capacity.

14. Neonatal Resuscitation Program
• The Neonatal Resuscitation Program was
developed by the American Heart Association
and the American Academy of Pediatrics to
teach an evidence-based approach
to newborn care. NRP is an
educational program established in 1987 to
address newborn transfers to the NICU.
