Blood oxygen in the fetus is substantially lower than in the newborn infant. In the minutes
after birth, arterial oxygen saturation rises from around 50–60% to 90–95%. Initial respiratory …

Background: Heart rate (HR) is considered the main vital sign in newborns during perinatal
transition, with a threshold of 100 beats per minute (bpm), below which, intervention is …

Background Globally, the majority of newborns requiring resuscitation at birth are full term or
late-preterm infants. These infants typically have their umbilical cord clamped early (ECC) …

Background: Assessment of heart rate (HR) is essential during newborn resuscitation, and
comparison of dry-electrode ECG technology to standard monitoring by 3-lead ECG and …

Objective To compare the accuracy of heart rate detection properties of a novel, wireless, dry-
electrode electrocardiogram (ECG) device, NeoBeat®, to that of a conventional 3-lead gel …

Aim The aim was to study the prevalence of bradycardia at birth in newborns requiring
positive pressure ventilation (PPV), distribution of first measured heart rate (HR), changes in …

Background Although electrocardiogram (ECG) can detect heart rate (HR) faster compared
to pulse oximetry, it remains unknown if routine use of ECG for delivery room (DR) …

Newborn mortality is a global challenge with around 2.4 million neonatal deaths in 2019.
One third of these occur within the first-and-only day of life with labour complications and …

Face mask ventilation of apnoeic neonates is an essential skill. However, many non-
paediatric healthcare personnel (HCP) in high-resource childbirth facilities receive little …

Positive pressure ventilation of the non-breathing newborn is a critical and time-sensitive
intervention, considered to be the cornerstone of resuscitation. Many healthcare providers …
