The BabySaver Kit: development and evaluation of a novel device for affordable neonatal resuscitation in a low-income region in Africa
REFNo: HS349ES

• To evaluate the usability of the BabySaver kit for providing neonatal resuscitation by describing the range of resuscitation procedures performed on a group of babies,
• To assess whether the Kit allows resuscitation with intact umbilical cord based on the proportion of babies successfully resuscitated on the kit with an intact cord.
• To assess the safety of the BabySaver kit from post-resuscitation temperature measurements and serious adverse event reports
• To assess its acceptability to health workers compared with the routine resuscitation equipment, based on a questionnaire,
