Dear Rachel,

It sounds like you work in childbirth utopia (by US standards anyway).  I work in a hospital of similar size and we certainly have call for at least basic resuscitation quite a bit more than a couple times a year.  I suspect that is probably due to our high rate of interventions into the birth process, ie: inductions, epidurals, vacuum extractions, and C/S for "failure to progress."   

As I recently posted, we just lost a baby who might have been saved had someone been in the room to resuscitate in a timely manner. Of course, we will never know.

Sadly,
Stacy Miller-Leonard RN,MS,IBCLC
