Abstract | Introduction: Neonatal resuscitation is a high acuity, low occurrence event (HALO), and in rural community hospitals, low birth rates prevent providers from regular opportunities to maintain essential resuscitation skills. Simulation is an effective training modality for medical education, although resources for simulation are often limited in rural hospitals. Our primary objective was to test the hypothesis that in situ neonatal resuscitation simulation training improves rural hospitals' delivery room team confidence in performing key Neonatal Resuscitation Program Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental pre-training survey and post-training survey of delivery room team confidence in NRP Results: Our data demonstrate a significant improvement in self-assessed confidence levels pre- and post-simulation training in key areas of neonatal resuscitation. Participants reported higher confidence in airway management (4 vs. 3, p=0.003), emergency intravenous access (3 vs. 2, p=0.007), and the ability to manage a code in the delivery room (4 vs. 3, p=0.013) and the operating room (4 vs. 3, p=0.028). Improvements were also noted in their team member's knowledge and skills to perform neonatal resuscitation. While improvements were appreciated in confidence, the performance of skills (NRP Conclusions: An in situ-based neonatal resuscitation outreach simulation program improves self-confidence among rural delivery room teams. Additional research is needed to understand how to translate improved confidence into actual improved performance. |
