Neonatal asphyxia is the failure to breathe spontaneously and regularly at birth or shortly after birth, characterized by hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and acidosis. Asphyxia during delivery can be caused by oxygen deficiency which can result in Prolonged Labor.Objective: to determine the Relationship of Prolonged Labor in Delivering Mothers with the Incidence of Neonatal Asphyxia at RSKDIA Pertiwi Hospital, Makassar City.Methods: The type of research used in this study is quantitative research with a descriptive research method using a cross-sectional study. Sampling was done using accidental sampling technique. The sample in this study were mothers who gave birth at RSKDIA Pertiwi Hospital, Makassar City. The sample in this study were 32 samples.
