![]() International newborn resuscitation guidelines highlight the importance of using the heart rate (HR) to guide resuscitation and stabilization methods. ![]() ![]() There is strong evidence that standardized resuscitation training and algorithms significantly improve newborn outcomes and could reduce mortality by up to 30%. The correct structured management of resuscitation in the first few “golden” minutes after birth is critical to prevent significant morbidity (eg, cerebral palsy due to hypoxia) or death. Up to 10% of newborns (79,000/year in the United Kingdom and 13 million/year worldwide) require some form of resuscitation at birth, with an estimated 7 million babies worldwide requiring more advanced resuscitation. Globally, there are approximately 3.6 million neonatal deaths annually (ie, in the first 28 days of life), with 70% occurring on the first day of life.
