Comparison of a dichotomous versus trichotomous checklist for neonatal intubation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To compare validity evidence for dichotomous and trichotomous versions of a neonatal intubation (NI) procedural skills checklist.

Methods

NI skills checklists were developed utilizing an existing framework. Experts were trained on scoring using dichotomous and trichotomous checklists, and rated recordings of 23 providers performing simulated NI. Videolaryngoscope recordings of glottic exposure were evaluated using Cormack-Lehane (CL) and Percent of Glottic Opening scales. Internal consistency and reliability of both checklists were analyzed, and correlations between checklist scores, airway visualization, entrustable professional activities (EPA), and global skills assessment (GSA) were calculated.

Results

During rater training, raters gave significantly hi
