About

This one-page algorithm explains the actions that healthcare professionals should perform to help newborn babies who are having trouble breathing at birth. The algorithm shows what actions doctors and nurses should take, like warming the baby, clearing airways, giving breaths or chest compressions if needed, and when to use medicines. It helps guide medical teams in making quick decisions to save a baby's life during emergencies right after delivery.
