Project Description

Understanding heart rate during newborn resuscitation in low and lower-middle income countries, can lead to appropriate medical treatment and increased life expectancy. Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) is a standard algorithm used to care for newborns who need resuscitation in low-income areas. Through NeoBeat, a battery-operated device used to measure newborn heart rate, newborns can have their heart rate displayed digitally within 5 seconds. This project will show the effectiveness of using both HBB and Neobeat to reduce stillbirths and generating heart rate guided breathing for 3 minutes. As a result, this project will attempt to reduce the stillbirth rate for these locations.
