Resuscitation practices of low and normal birth weight infants in Nepal: an observational study using video camera recordings.

Low birth weight was associated with more ventilation and less suctioning during neonatal resuscitation in a low-income setting. As ventilation is the most important intervention when the infant does not initiate breathing after birth, low birth weight was not a predictor for the decision to withhold resuscitation. Frequent routine use of suctioning of the lower airways continues to be a problem in the studied context, even after the introduction of the Helping Babies Breathe protocol.
