Why Resus-A-Cradle
Having the baby in a stable position allows the care provider to focus on ventilations and chest compressions without constant worry about repositioning the baby. Those who have ever resuscitated a newborn understand how much this will reduce stress. Knowing the baby has an open airway keeps the focus on resuscitation efforts.
Benefits:
-
No struggling with flat surfaces and rolled up receiving blankets under the baby’s shoulders.
-
The Cradle allows the baby to be resuscitated with the umbilical cord still attached to maintain oxygen supply from the mother.
-
No worrying during a resuscitation about the baby’s limp head and body shifting and causing the airway to close.
-
Ensures all of the equipment needed can be together and easy for others to find in a critical moment.
