Perinatal Asphyxia and Its Impact on Infant Mortality Rates in Low-Income Countries
One of the main factors used to determine how healthy people are in a location is infant mortality rate. This yardstick is also particularly efficient in giving an insight into how comfortable people are and how improvements in paediatrics have been effective. One of the medical conditions new babies face after birth, called "birth asphyxia", is caused by poor oxygen intake which could lead to acutely low levels of oxygen reaching vital body parts. It is quite clear that new research on the causes of new-born fatalities is vital in order to reduce the alarming numbers recorded in first and second order countries. Recent research in this regard has given some solid causes of this trend. Elderly mothers, improper appointments bookings, pre-eclampsia as well as abuse of stress relievers and body fluid controlling fluids have been identified as factors that increase the risk level of maternal problems. Effective measures discovered to reduce the high death rate among new-borns include improvements in paediatric workshops, development of safe delivery zones, better information dissemination as well as quick detection of possible problems by properly trained health personnel.
Introduction
Over 4% of at least 130 million babies born annually, worldwide, do not live past the first months. 40% of fatalities of children below 5 years, across the world, are new born babies. The rate of infant mortality among a populace says a lot about their general health condition and exhibits how comfortable they live as well as how useful improvements in paediatric health...
