Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To determine the accuracy of early detection of heart rate using handheld Doppler in comparison to ECG  baseline at time of birth to 120 seconds for normal and 300 seconds for babies requiring resucitation 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Determine the average time it takes to achieve a neonatal heart rate through different methods.  baseline at time of birth to 120 seconds for normal & 300 seconds for babies requiring resucitation 
Record the time needed for applying various approaches in heart rate assessment  from time of application to time of first initial record of values displayed measured in seconds 
Evaluate the effectiveness & practicality of using a handheld Doppler for neonatal heart rate measurement in comparison to ECG & Pulse oximetry  baseline heart rate measurements done over a period of 120 seconds in normal babies & 300 seconds for babies requiring resuscitation using Bland-Altman analysis for comparison

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

Three-lead electrocardiography (ECG) identifies neonatal heart rate more rapidly and accurately and is the gold standard as per neonatal resuscitation guidelines. So, determining whether measuring heart rate using a handheld Doppler is an adjunct device with efficacy like an ECG during neonatal resuscitation will pave the way forward as the first line of measuring in low- resource settings and be easily operable by any trained responder in handling newborn deliveries.
