Flow disruptions during delivery room intubation of neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Flow disruptions (FDs) are deviations in the progression of care that compromise safety and efficiency of a specific process. Neonatal intubation is a life-saving high-risk procedure required for delivery room (DR) management of neonates with moderate to severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study evaluated FDs during DR intubation of neonates with CDH and their association with process and outcome measures.

Methods

Single-center observational study of video-recorded DR intubations of neonates with CDH. FDs were measured from birth through commencement of invasive endotracheal tube ventilation and classified using a neonatal FD tool and impact score. The primary outcome was time to invasive ventilation. Secondary outcomes were time to oxygen saturation (SpO<
