The occurrence of postprocedural oxyhemoglobin desaturation was directly correlated with younger chronological age in term infants and younger PCA in preterm infants. Term infants who required extended oxygen supplementation were inpatients and had significant comorbidities.

Context: The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected medical training with social distancing requirements posing a barrier to in-person teaching and face-to-face interaction between medical students, residents, and attendings. It remains unknown whether a virtual learning format can effectively improve medical knowledge and decrease social isolation. In March 2020, the University of Hawaii Family Medicine Residency Program created a residency-wide Virtual Morning Report (VMR) as a regular gathering space to address clinical training and social needs for both learners and educators. Objective: To evaluate whether a VMR improved training and decreased isolation. Study Design: Cross-sectional anonymous online survey. Setting: Community-based family medicine residency program Population: All 21 residents, 5 clinical attendings, and 10 medical students interested in family medicine. Intervention: A VMR held online 3 times weekly with interactive, clinical case-based presentations (30 minutes) by students, residents, and attendings including community physicians. Attendance was voluntary.Main and Secondary Outcome Measures: Self-report of whether VMR improved medical knowledge and well-being.Results: Of the 37 participants (90% response), 87% reported that improving medical knowledge was a moderately or extremely important reason for attending VMR. Most reported that attending VMR improved their medical knowledge moderately or a great deal overall (78%), specifically for generating differential diagnoses (88%) and work-up (88%), and less so for history/exam (47%). With respect to social isolation, 62% reported improving well-being was an extremely or moderately important reason for attending VMR. Effect of VMR participation on social isolation was mixed with many but not all reporting that VMR improved their overall well-being moderately or a great deal (30%) by increasing morale (38%), enjoyment of medicine (54%), connecting with residents (57%), or connecting with faculty (44%).Conclusions: Virtual Morning Reports proved to be an effective clinical training tool to improve medical knowledge when COVID-19 restrictions reduced in-person teaching. While participating in Virtual Morning Reports helped to improve well-being and increase a sense of connection through regular online socialization, more intentional efforts are needed to address the social isolation of students, residents, and attendings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
