title: [Organization of patient management in level II centers in the Paris area: a prospective survey].
abstract: Perinatal asphyxia is a common emergency for both obstetricians and pediatricians. A prospective study was conducted in 14 maternity hospitals (type II centres) in the Paris suburbs in order to assess pediatric activity and neonatal morbidity associated with supposed perinatal asphyxia in term newborns. Pediatricians were called in at birth very frequently: 1/20 deliveries. Intubation and/or resuscitation procedures were needed in 20% of cases and 20% of infants were referred to a neonatal unit for birth asphyxia or associated pathology. Moderate encephalopathy was observed in 1.5% of all term newborns who needed medical intervention for supposed birth asphyxia.
