Article Synopsis
- Birth asphyxia is a major global issue, with timely ventilation within the first minute after birth being critical but challenging, particularly in low-/middle-income countries.
- The "Helping Babies Breathe" (HBB) program was implemented in a Tanzanian hospital to improve newborn resuscitation practices through simulation training, leading to significant improvements in ventilation rates and reduced stillbirths among newborns.
- Results showed that during the intervention, 68.5% of nonbreathing newborns received ventilation within 60 seconds compared to only 15.8% during the baseline, although performance declined in the subsequent years, indicating the need for ongoing training and support.
