Retrospective study of perinatal asphyxia was done at Prachomklao hospital Phetchaburi province during March 1999 to February 2000. There were 164 cases of perinatal asphyxia from 3,034 live birth and perinatal asphyxia rate was 54.05 per 1,000 live birth.

Most of the mothers were primigravida, age 16-25 years old, 9.15 percents of the mothers had no antenatal care, 18.9% of them were preterm. Most of the asphyxia infants weighed between 2,500-4,000  grams. There was 16 cases death of perinatal asphyxia and the most common cause of death was respiratory distress syndrome.
