ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Pediatric residents quickly lose neonatal resuscitation (NR) skills after initial training. Helping Babies Breathe is a skills-based curriculum emphasizing basic NR skills needed within the "Golden Minute" after birth. With this pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility of implementing a Golden Minute review and the impact on overall performance and bag-mask ventilation (BMV) skills in pediatric interns during and/or after their NICU rotation, with varying frequency and/or intensity of "just-in-place" simulation.METHODS:
During their NICU rotation, interns at 1 delivery hospital received the Golden Minute module and hands-on simulation practice. All enrolled interns were randomly assigned to weekly retraining or no retraining for their NICU month and every 1- or 3-month retraining post-NICU for the remainder of their intern year, based on a factorial design. The primary measure was the score on a 21-item evaluation tool administered at the end of intern year, which was compared to the scores received by interns at another hospital (controls).RESULTS:
Twenty-eight interns were enrolled in the intervention. For the primary outcome, at the end of intern year, the 1- and 3-month groups had higher scores (18.8 vs 18.6 vs 14.4; P < .01) and shorter time to effective BMV (10.6 vs 20.4 vs 52.8 seconds; P < .05 for both comparisons) than those of controls. However, the 1- and 3-month groups had no difference in score or time to BMV.CONCLUSIONS:
This pilot study revealed improvement in simulated performance of basic NR skills in interns receiving increased practice intensity and/or frequency than those who received the current standard of NR training.
