Summary
Systematic review and meta-analysis of four studies examining changes in neonatal resuscitation practices after implementation of the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) training programme. Pooled results showed no change in the use of stimulation, suctioning or overall bag-and-mask ventilation after training. However, the proportion of babies receiving bag-and-mask ventilation within the Golden Minute increased substantially. Relevant to those delivering resuscitation training, particularly in low-resource settings.
