However, this did not correlate with higher rates of injury severity score, intensive care unit admission or mortality.

In 2002, the early neonatal mortality rate in Brazil was 12.42 per thousand live births. Perinatal asphyxia was the greatest cause of neonatal death (about 23%). This study aimed to evaluate the availability of the resources required for neonatal resuscitation in delivery rooms of public hospitals in Brazilian state capitals. ⋯ The main public maternity hospitals in Brazilian state capitals have the resources to resuscitate neonates at birth.
