Electronic Decision Support in the Delivery Room Using Augmented Reality to Improve Newborn Life Support Guideline Adherence: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Newborn Life Support (NLS) guideline aims to provide healthcare professionals a consistent approach during neonatal resuscitation. Adherence to this and analogous guidelines has repetitively been proven to be difficult.This study evaluates adherence to guideline using a novel augmented reality (Microsoft HoloLens) electronic decision support tool during standardized simulated neonatal resuscitation compared with subjects working from memory alone.

Methods

In this randomized controlled pilot study, 18 professionals responsible for neonatal resuscitation were randomized to the intervention group and 11 to the control group. Demographic characteristics were similar between both groups. A standardized neonatal resuscitation scenario was performed, which was reco
