BACKGROUND: Interventions to improve neonatal resuscitation are considered a priority for reducing neonatal mortality. In addition to training programs for health caregivers, the availability of adequate equipment in all delivery settings is crucial. In this study, we assessed the availability of equipment for neonatal resuscitation in a large sample of delivery rooms in Vietnam, exploring regional differences. METHODS: In 2012, a structured questionnaire on 2011 neonatal resuscitation practice was sent to the heads of 187 health facilities, representing the three levels of hospital-based maternity services in eight administrative regions in Vietnam, allowing national and regional estimates to be calculated. RESULTS: Overall the response rate was an 85.7 % (160/187 hospitals). There was a limited availability of equipment considered as "essential" in the surveyed centres: stethoscopes (68.0 %; 95 % CI: 60.3-75.7), clock (50.3 %; 42.0-58.7), clothes (29.5 %; (22.0-36.9), head covering (12.3 %; 7.2-17.4). The percentage of centres equipped with polyethylene bags (2.2 %; 0.0-4.6), pulse oximeter (9.4 %; 5.2-13.6) and room air source (1.9 %; 0.1-3.6) was very low. CONCLUSION: Adequate equipment for neonatal resuscitation was not available in a considerable proportion of hospitals in Vietnam. This problem was more relevant in some regions. The assessment strategy used in this study could be useful for organizing the procurement and distribution of supplies and equipment in other low and/or middle resource settings.
