Abstract: 
Neonatal resuscitation and maternal care in space present unique challenges that necessitate meticulous planning and precise execution. This article provides a comprehensive plan for neonatal resuscitation, addressing critical steps such as immediate care, evaluation, and potential complications. It also covers the management of maternal complications, including infection control and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. The procedures discussed include immediate drying, suctioning secretions, evaluating vital signs, providing positive pressure ventilation (PPV), and administering medications as needed. Additionally, the article discusses the management of neonatal and maternal complications and post-resuscitation care, emphasizing the importance of hygiene and infection prevention in the space environment.
