Birth asphyxia is a global issue causing newborn illness and death, especially in developing nations. This review focuses on preventing and managing birth asphyxia in tropical regions.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Birth asphyxia is a significant global cause of newborn morbidity and mortality.
  • Incidence and sequelae are disproportionately high in developing countries compared to affluent societies.
  • High mortality rates associated with birth asphyxia persist in less developed regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an assessment of birth asphyxia.
  • To outline prevention strategies for birth asphyxia.
  • To detail the management of birth asphyxia, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review of existing literature and data on birth asphyxia.
  • It focuses on assessment, prevention, and management strategies.
