About one in ten newborns needs help to start breathing. In a primary health centre the person in the room is often the only skilled attendant. This session is about being ready for that moment.
What this session covers
- Which babies need resuscitation at birth
- Preparing for every delivery — even the “routine” ones
- The Golden Minute: assessment and action
- Effective bag-and-mask ventilation
- When to refer and when to stop resuscitation
