Description

Perinatal asphyxia and failure to resuscitate compromised newborns who are then classified as stillbirths has been recognized as a major cause of perinatal mortality in low-income countries. Devices such as ambu bags and other products, often manufactured by Laerdal, exist widely for neonatal resuscitation, but were designed in and for high-income countries. The goal of this project is to design an effective, appropriate, acceptable, and affordable resuscitation device for use and manufacturing in low-income countries.
