Clinical trials: Lung Function Decreased
Stillbirth, Neonatal Respiratory Depression
Newborn Heart Rate as a Catalyst for Improved Survival
Heart rate (HR) is not routinely assessed during newborn resuscitations in low- and lower-middle income countries (LMICs). Many non-breathing newborns classified as fresh stillbirths have a heartbeat and are live born.
