Abstract

It is of interest to identify the factors associated with birth asphyxia. Data shows that the neonates delivered from January to December, 2022 in the neonatal ward of the 7 Airforce Hospital, Kanpur, India, had a rate of birth asphyxia of 5.6 per 1000 births. Data further shows that maternal age of 24-30 years, primigravida mothers, POG of 37-41weeks and foetal distress are associated factors in birth asphyxia. These risks can be diminished if women receive adequate care in the labor room, such as early treatments and close monitoring of the foetal heart.
