Objective: To popularize ABCDE resuscitation method of the grass-roots
level in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in order to reduce the death rate
of newborn babies and the rate of the disabled.
Methods: By conducting training and practice causes and by our teaching
and demonstration at the grass-roots level, we trained the obstetericians
and the pediatricians in 12 leagues and 42 counties. At the same time, 503
complete sets of resuscitation, 130 infrared rays rescued tables, 168
newborn baby culture cases were provided to the clinics and hospital at
grass-roots level by women and children project office of Inner Mongolia
Health Bureau.
Result: Serious newborn babies suffocation cases is shortened from
16.75 minutes to 10.20 minutes (p<0.05). The death rate is lowered from
13.77% to 4.12% (p<0.05). The trained obstetricians and pediatricians
have generally mastered the new ABCDE method.
Conclusion: The key to successfully save newborn baby from suffocation lies
in correct and timely resuscitation in delivery room. The new ABCDE method
emphasizes on the initial clearing of respiratory tract so as to maintain
the baby’s breathing and circulating functions and reduce heart and brain
oxygen consumption as soon as possible. The new method is easy to learn and
the effect of the resuscitation is superior to the old one. It is suitable
to put into use at the grass-roots level.
