In the French region Nord-Pas-de-Calais a Public Health action was undertaken in order to set up a training program for neonatal resuscitation for the maternity-hospitals personnel. The incidence and severity of meconium aspiration among the population of children admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Lille University Hospital during two 15 month-periods of time, before and after the training, were compared. The number of neonates who presented with meconium aspiration decreased from 54 during the first period to 9 during the second, i.e. from 7.2 to 1.3% with respect to the total number of hospitalized patients (p less than 0.001). On the contrary, the number of deaths did not decrease significantly. This regression of the meconium aspiration gives evidence for an improved quality of care at birth. Even if training is not the only factor, this evolution gives argument in favour of the efficacy of such actions.
