About

This article is about using "non-crying" as a sign to start resuscitation in newborns. It describes how neonatal resuscitation programs look at babies who do not cry after birth to decide if they need help breathing. The idea is to use "non-crying" as a way to identify which babies might need resuscitation. This could help doctors and nurses know when to step in and assist newborns with their breathing right after they are born.
