Development and use of an infant resuscitation performance tool (Infa-RePT) to improve team performance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Measurement of neonatal team resuscitation performance is critical to identify opportunities for improvement and to target education. An effective tool to measure team performance during infant resuscitations is lacking.

Methods

We developed an in-hospital infant resuscitation performance tool (Infa-RePT) using the modified Delphi method. We employed a QI framework and targeted interventions, including the use of role responsibility checklists, mock codes, and an educational video. We tracked Infa-RePT scores, mock code team attendance, and confidence surveys. Our specific aim was to improve Infa-RePT score from a baseline of 7.4 to <5 (lower is better) over a 26-month period.

Results

Twenty-five elements reached >80% consensus as essential components to in
