Neonatal Resuscitation at Birth
About the Procedure
Neonatal resuscitation is an emergency intervention provided immediately after birth if a newborn has difficulty breathing or maintaining stable vital signs. Conducted by trained neonatology professionals, it may include airway clearance, oxygen support, assisted ventilation, or chest compressions.
