Chest Compression in Newborn Infants: What anatomical structures are we compressing?
What is already known Current neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend delivering chest compressions (CC) over the lower third of the sternum , a recommendation largely derived from imaging studies in older infants and children , with very limited newborn-specific data. What this study adds Using transthoracic echocardiographic mapping in healthy term newborns , we found that the left ventricle (LV) is consistently located at the inter-nipple line along the 4th–5th left s

Chest compression during sustained inflation versus 3:1 compression-to-ventilation ratio during neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation of asphyxiated piglets
When a baby is born without enough oxygen, every second counts. Doctors and nurses jump into action, performing newborn CPR — chest compressions and small breaths — to try to restart the baby’s heart and breathing. Right now, international guidelines recommend a 3:1 compression-to-breath ratio , meaning caregivers give three quick chest compressions followed by one breath . But some researchers are exploring whether there’s a better way. 💡 A New Idea: Continuous Compressions
