Neonatal Transport Ventilation: Simulation to Improve Knowledge and Skills.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Neonatal transport is a frequent activity in most tertiary and regional perinatal centers. Neonatal transport teams serve as mobile intensive care units and are equipped with specialized incubators that have built-in ventilators that can provide several levels of support. In our institution, we aim to educate all neonatal transport providers, including neonatal-perinatal fellows, neonatal intensive care unit-dedicated advanced practice providers, and neonatal intensive care unit-dedicated registered respiratory therapists, on transport ventilation management and troubleshooting, utilizing simulation to optimize patient care during transport.

Methods

We developed scenarios based on the equipment used at our institution: an AirBorne Voyager transport incubator wit
