Teleneonatal or routine resuscitation in extremely preterm infants: a randomized simulation trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Teleneonatology, the use of telemedicine for newborn resuscitation and care, can connect experienced care providers with high-risk deliveries. In a simulated resuscitation, we hypothesized that teleneonatal resuscitation, compared to usual resuscitation, would reduce the no-flow fraction.

Study design

This was a single-center, randomized simulation trial in which pediatric residents were randomized to teleneonatal or routine resuscitation. The primary outcome was no-flow fraction defined as time without chest compressions divided by the time during which the heart rate was <60. Secondary outcomes included corrective modifications of bag-mask ventilation and times to intubation and epinephrine administration.

Results

Fifty-one residents completed the scenario
