Perinatal outcomes following Helping Babies Breathe training and regular peer-peer skills practice among village midwives in Sudan.
Archives of Disease in Childhood 2018 January
BACKGROUND: Over 80% of deliveries in Sudan occur in rural areas, attended by village midwives (VMWs).
OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of Helping Babies Breathe training and regular peer-peer skills practice (HBBT+RPPSP ) on VMW resuscitation practices and outcomes.
METHODS: In a prospective community-based intervention study, 71/82 VMWs, reporting to six East Nile rural medical centres, with previous experience in community health research, consented to HBBT+RPPSP . Outcomes included changes in the resuscitation practices, fresh stillbirths (FSB) and early neonatal deaths <1 week (ENND).
RESULTS: There were 1350 and 3040 deliveries before and after HBBT+RPPSP , respectively, with no significant differences between the two cohorts regarding maternal age, education or area of birth. Drying of the newborn increased almost tenfold (8.4%, n=113 to 74.9%, n=1011) while suctioning of the mouth/nose decreased fivefold (80.3%, n=2442 to 14.4%, n=437) following HBBT+RPPSP . Pre-HBBT+RPPSP 9/18 (50%) newborns who had mouth-to-mouth ventilation died, compared with 13/119 (11%) who received bag-mask ventilation post-HBBT+RPPSP . Excluding 11 macerated fetuses, there were 55 perinatal deaths: 14 FSB/18 ENND (6 months pre-HBBT+RPPSP ) and 10 FSB/13 ENND (18 months post-HBBT+RPPSP ). FSB rates decreased from 10.5 to 3.3 per 1000 births ((χ2 )=8.6209, p=0.003), while ENND rates decreased from 13.5 to 4.3 per 1000 live births ((χ2 )=10.9369, p=0.001) pre-HBBT+RPPSP and post-HBBT+RPPSP , respectively.
CONCLUSION: In a selected group of VMWs, HBBT+RPPSP was associated with improvements in newborn resuscitation and perinatal outcomes. HBBT+RPPSP could have immense benefits if propagated nationally to all 17 000 VMWs in Sudan.
