Om mig

  • Susanna Myrnerts Höök is a Paediatric Specialist at the Sachs' Children
    and Youth Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden and affiliated to the Department
    of Global Public Health, KI. The last seven years she has been involved in
    research projects focusing on neonatal resuscitation in Kampala, Uganda, a
    low-resource setting. The work led her to start a PhD at Bergen University,
    Norway, September 2016. She defended her thesis May 2021 with the title
    "Supporting neonatal resuscitation in low-resource settings - innovations
    and new strategies". https://bora.uib.no/bora-xmlui/handle/11250/2740511
    The thesis discusses how best to support non-breathing neonates immediately
    after birth in low-resource settings using innovations and new strategies.
    The thesis focused on heart rate assessment using a smartphone app, and
    airway access for ventilatory support with the use of a laryngeal mask airway
    (LMA), following its effect on adherence to international neonatal
    resuscitation guidelines and effect on neonatal mortality and morbidity.

    Health and Primary Care at University of Bergen, Norway, for the article:
