Chest Compression and Sustained Inflation

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.
