Chest Compression and Sustained Inflation

N/ACompletedNCT02083705

University of Alberta9 enrolled

Overview

Guidelines on neonatal resuscitation recommend 90 chest compressions (CC) and 30 manual inflations (3:1) per minute in newborns. The study aimed to determine if CC s during sustained inflations (SI) improves recovery of asphyxiated newborns compared to coordinated 3:1 resuscitation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Time Needed to Achieve Return of Spontaneous Circulation

We aim to reduce time needed to achieve Return of Spontaneous Circulation. This should be achieved by the experimental chest compression technique

Time frame: within the first 10 minutes after birth
