Background: There are many known risk factors related to maternal or neonatal problems which can predict the need for resuscitation. In this study, we evaluated the resuscitation process of preterm neonates and analyzed the impact of different risk factors on the level of resuscitation required in the patients.Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on inborn preterm...

Background: Simulation is used for teaching neonatal resuscitation; however, studies assessing the impact ofsimulation-based neonatal resuscitation education (SBE) have produced variable results. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of SBE on nursing students’ knowledge.Methods: This experimental study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing of Neishabour University of Medical Sciences on 8...

The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is the first neonatal continuing education program to focus exclusively on the post-resuscitation/pre-transport stabilization care of sick infants. Neonatal Resuscitation Program provides the requisite education for healthcare providers to safely and systematically resuscitate neonates. However, those infants who require resuscitation also require ongoing care to decrea...

Background: Poor neonatal resuscitation can lead to death or irreversible consequences in newborns. Therefore, proper training using suitable techniques and continuous practice are of pivotal importance. Aim: to compare the effects of video-assisted debriefing and educational workshops on the quality of neonatal resuscitation. Methods: In this semi-experimental three-group study, 90 cases of re...

AIM OF THE STUDY To assess midwives' baseline cognitive knowledge of evidence-based neonatal resuscitation practices, and short- and long-term educational effects of teaching a neonatal resuscitation program in a hospital setting in West Africa. METHODS All midwives (n=14) on the labor ward at Ridge Hospital in Ghana were trained using materials modified from the American Academy of Pediatric...

Ten million or more newborns worldwide each year need some type of resuscitation assistance. More than 1 million babies die annually from complications of birth asphyxia. Over the past 3 decades, neonatal resuscitation has evolved from disparate, word-of-mouth teaching methods to organized programs. The most widely-used curriculum is the Neonatal Resuscitation Program, which is supported by the...

Background: The goal of neonatal resuscitation is to prevent death and further complications, reestablish spontaneous respiration, and achieve sufficient cardiac output. Inappropriate or wrong resuscitation will result in the death of neonates or long-term side effects. The present study was performed to compare the effects of video-recorded debriefing and neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) w...

Ten percent of all newborns require resuscitation at birth. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program establishes the authoritative technique of newborn resuscitation. Errors continue to occur that are related to the use of unskilled resuscitators; intubation; inadequate suctioning of meconium; and the postresuscitation problems of hypoglycemia, hypocarbia, and hypotension. Specific recommendations ar...
