将新生儿的第一次呼吸推迟30秒可能会减少美国婴儿的死亡。 Delaying newborns' first breaths by 30 seconds may reduce infant deaths in the U.S.

一项新的研究表明,对医院分娩规程进行简单的调整(具体地说,将新生儿头一口气推迟30秒)可以显著降低婴儿死亡率,每年在美国可能节省数十个婴儿。 A new study suggests that a simple adjustment in hospital delivery protocols—specifically, delaying the first breaths of newborns by 30 seconds—could significantly reduce infant mortality, potentially saving dozens of babies annually in the U.S. 研究人员发现延迟可以改善氧气,改善从胎儿向新生儿循环的过渡。 Researchers found the delay allows for better oxygenation and improved transition from fetal to newborn circulation. 这种做法正在多家医院进行测试,如果结果继续产生积极结果,则可成为标准护理。 The practice is being tested in multiple hospitals and could become standard care if results continue to show positive outcomes.
