The Syrian Board for Medical Specialties SBOMS conducted a training on "Supporting Newborn Stabilization after Resuscitation and Before Transfer", which was attended by ten pediatric residents from seven training hospitals in northern Syria.
The course included strategies for post-resuscitation stabilization of the newborn by controlling glucose, temperature, airway, blood pressure, management of early sepsis, and psychosocial support for the parents. Simulated practical training was also conducted on training mannequins such as tracheal intubation, positive pressure ventilation, chest tube placement, emergency needle paracentesis on the chest of a sheep, and opening of the umbilical vein on a real umbilical cord.
These trainings come within the activities of the project to strengthen the health system in northwestern Syria R4HSSS, which is implemented by the Idlib Health Directorate and the UOSSM organization in partnership with the British King's College London University.
