Delaying newborns' first breaths by 30 seconds may reduce infant deaths in the U.S.
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.
Researchers found the delay allows for better oxygenation and improved transition from fetal to newborn circulation.
The practice is being tested in multiple hospitals and could become standard care if results continue to show positive outcomes.
