以下是媒体广泛流传的真实故事。两者都涉及到孩子一生的第一时刻的紧急情况……
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.
在附近的设施中,发生了类似的紧急情况,但是另一个故事正在播放。如何诊断和解决情况导致紧急干预措施对孩子致命,并向母亲颁发了1,020万美元的奖励。
每年在全球范围内,估计有814,000例新生儿死亡与全学期婴儿中的产前缺氧事件(即“出生窒息”)有关。1在那些生存的人中,许多人遭受神经系统障碍。2
When a baby is born, he or she should begin breathing within the “Golden Minute,” their first 60 seconds outside of the womb. Most babies do begin breathing on their own. 10 million babies worldwide, however, will need assistance.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
对家庭来说,1%的意思是一切。这1%的人妨碍了孩子的生存,即使他或她确实生存,也会增加脑部损伤的机会。相信她将获得最佳护理的母亲期望她的提供者为1%的风险做好了充分的准备。
One Minute: Too Short to Do Anything?
“金分钟”是指婴儿一生的前60秒。在这些有限的秒内,婴儿应开始对自己的呼吸,或者必须开始干预措施。

Approximately 4,000,000 babies are born each year in the United States.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
In each case,steps taken to treat an infant must be precise and timely。
