Accuracy of real-time delivery room resuscitation documentation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the accuracy of real-time delivery room resuscitation documentation.

Design

Retrospective observational study.

Setting

Level 3 academic neonatal intensive care unit.

Participants

Fifty infants with video recording of neonatal resuscitation.

Main outcome measures

Vital sign assessments and interventions performed during resuscitation. The accuracy of written documentation was compared with video gold standard.

Results

Timing of initial heart rate assessment agreed with video in 44/50 (88%) records; the documented heart rate was correct in 34/44 (77%) of these. Heart rate and oxygen saturation were documented at 5 min of life in 90% of resuscitations. Of these, 100% of heart rate and 93% of oxygen saturation values were correctly
