Brief Summary

Stabilization and resuscitation of babies at birth is one of the most frequently performed procedure and requires considerable skills. About 3.3millions death occur during the Neonatal period, the majority i.e., almost 2millions die on the first day of life. With the birth of 25 million children each year India accounts for nearly one fifth of the world’s annual child births. Every minute one of those babies dies and 40 per cent of neonatal deaths happen during the first 24 hours after birth. Virtually 99% Newborn deaths occur in low-middle income country due to lack of proper intervention at the time of birh.  Most of the deaths can be avoided by ensuring proper resuscitation, care of umbilical cord and immediate exclusive breast feeding. Ayurveda the authentic Indian medicine had already described in detail the principles of newborn care 5,500 years (3500 BC) ago in Kaumarabhritya (the science of pediatrics). Navajata shishu paricharya3,4,5,6 steps described by ayurvedic classical texts are very close to modern day principles of newborn care. The Ayurvedic practices of ancient era were primarily based on observation and experience. Navajata shishu paricharya includes few prodigious steps which are not mentioned in newborn care as per Neonatal resuscitation program(NRP) guidelines. However, the navajata shishu paricharya is relevant to today’s practice but the evidence-based studies have not been conducted till date.
