Abstract

Background: Neonatal asphyxia is the failure of spontaneous breathing, and in some cases, an APGAR score of <7 is observed in the first minute. According to the WHO, asphyxia is one of the leading causes of neonatal death. Objective: To identify the factors that cause asphyxia in newborns based on previous studies. Methods: For the literature review, we gathered a range of journals from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The research involved reviewing literature by using keywords like “neonatal asphyxia, “APGAR score” and “low APGAR score” with 30 articles. Results: Factors contributing to asphyxia (Apgar score <7) in newborns include maternal factors, fetal factors, delivery factors, and external factors.

Keywords
