Abstract
Background: Birth asphyxia is a leading cause of perinatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality with intrapartum factors rather than antepartum or post-partum having a major impact, hence effective resuscitation of newborns takes on priority in saving lives. Newly born resuscitation is unique in that displacement of fetal fluid filled lung requires continuous positive pressure ventilation by sustained nasal oxygen inflation as opposed to intermittent positive pressure ventilation to initiate breathing facilitating vital cardio-vascular changes from fetal to adult life. Aim: Quick and safe resuscitation of hypoxic/asphyxiated newborns transiting from fetal fluid filled lungs to well aerated neonatal lungs with onset of rhythmic respiration triggering large reduction in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR), facilitating a series of cardiovascular changes essential for survival after birth. Method: The study comprised of 1,383 consecutive...
