以下都是保监会的真实故事ulated widely in the media. Both involved emergencies in the first moments of a child’s life…
In the first story, the attending staff had trained aggressively to identify and manage labor and delivery emergencies. Upon diagnosing the immediacy of the risk factors present, the staff carried out a well-planned and rehearsed effort that avoided harm to the child. To the joy of the family, the birth was a resounding success.
At a nearby facility a similar emergency occurred, but a different story was playing out. How the circumstances were diagnosed and addressed led to emergency interventions that proved fatal to the child and resulted in a $10.2 million award to the mother.
Worldwide each year, an estimated 814,000 neonatal deaths are related to intrapartum hypoxic events (i.e. “birth asphyxia”) in full-term infants.1Of those that survive, many are left with neurological impairments.2
当婴儿出生时,他或她应该在“金分钟”内开始呼吸,这是他们在子宫外的头60秒。大多数婴儿的确开始呼吸。但是,全球1000万婴儿将需要帮助。3Approximately 10% of newborns who do not breathe on their own will respond to drying, warming, clearing of the airways, and stimulation. And, 1% of non-breathing babies will need advanced methods of resuscitation, such as chest compressions and medication.4
To the family, 1% means everything. That 1% stands in the way of the child’s survival, and increases the chance of brain damage even if he or she does survive. The mother who trusts that she will receive the best possible care expects that her providers have been fully prepared for the 1% risk.
一分钟:太短了,无法做什么?
The “Golden Minute” refers to the first 60 seconds of an infant’s life. Within these limited seconds, the infant should begin breathing on his or her own, or interventions must be started.

美国每年大约有400万婴儿出生。6It is estimated that 400,000 of these babies will need help breathing and/or positive-pressure ventilations to successfully transition to extra-uterine life. And, as many as 12,000 infants will need advanced resuscitation with chest compressions and cardiac medications.7
在每种情况下,为治疗婴儿采取的步骤必须精确,及时。
