Effect of popularizing neonatal asphyxia recovery technique on reducing perinatal mortality in Shanghai city

Objective:To analyze the effect of popularizing neonatal asphyxia recovery technique in Shanghai city,provide a reference for further reducing perinatal mortality and improving the survival outcome of neonates.Methods:The data of neonatal asphyxia and death in Shanghai city from 2005 to 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:①From 2005 to 2010,the perinatal mortality,neonatal mortality,the incidence of neonatal asphyxia,and mortality of neonatal asphyxia were 5.04‰,1.60‰,1.56%,and 9.32‰,respectively.②The perinatal mortality and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia from 2008 to 2010 were significantly lower than those from 2005 to 2007(P0.01).Among the neonates without local household registration,the neonatal mortality and the mortality of neonatal asphyxia from 2008 to 2010 were significantly lower than those from 2005 to 2007(P0.05).③The coverage rate of training among obstetricians and midwives and the number of obstetricians and midwives participating in rescue of asphyxia recovery were significantly higher than those of neonatal physicians and pediatricians.Conclusion:Training all the medical workers related to delivery can reduce perinatal mortality,neonatal mortality and neonatal mortality induced by asphyxia.
