Endotracheal intubation performance at a large obstetric hospital delivery room, Hanoi, Vietnam.

Introduction: Intrapartum-related events account for nearly 700,000 neonatal deaths globally yearly. Endotracheal intubation is a cornerstone in preventing many of these deaths, but it is a difficult skill to acquire. Previous studies have described intubation performances in high-income countries, but data from low- and middle-income countries are lacking.

Neonatal resuscitation monitoring: A low-cost video recording setup for quality improvement in the delivery room at the resuscitation table.

Background: The quality of neonatal resuscitation after delivery needs to be improved to reach the Sustainable Development Goals 3.2 (reducing neonatal deaths to <12/1,000 live newborns) by the year 2030. Studies have emphasized the importance of correctly performing the basic steps of resuscitation including stimulation, heart rate assessment, ventilation, and thermal control.
