Feasibility and acceptability of using the BabySaver resuscitation platform and NeoBeat together for neonatal resuscitation in a low-resource setting: A pre-post implementation study
The BabySaver and NeoBeat improved bedside neonatal resuscitation and reduced morbidity. Bedside resuscitation was also acceptable to the health workers and mothers. Scaling up should address misconceptions about delayed cord clamping and optimize usability in theatre settings where many asphyxiated infants are delivered.
