Neonatal Asphyxia is an emergency condition when the baby failed to breath spontaneously and regularly after they were born. Neonatal asphyxia remains the main cause of neonatal mortality as well as permanent neurological abnormality. With informed consideration about risk factors, more than half baby who need resuscitation could be identified prior to birth. Objectives: to identify antepartum and intrapartum risk factors in neonatal asphyxia. Sample: mother who delivered an asphyxia neonatal baby in Jombang General Hospital since January 1st to December 31st 2007 (total sampling). Result: the incidence of neonatal asphyxia was 12,56%. The antepartum factors which increased the risk of neonatal asphyxia were premature baby (48.94%), small for gestational of age baby (39,53%), mother’s age <16 &>35 accompanied by other risk \ud
factor (14.89%), maternal hypertension (14.89%) and postmature baby (12.77%). lntrapartum factors were meconeum stained of amnion fluid (29.79%) and premature amnion fluid broke accompanied by other risk factor (21.28%). Conclusion: premature baby, small for gestational of age (SGA) baby, meconium stained of amnion fluid, premature broke of amnion fluid accompanied by other risk factor, mother’s age <16 &>35 years old accompanied by other risk \ud
factor and maternal hypertension increased the risk of neonatal asphyxia
