Background. Immediately after birth, approximately 10% of newborns need interventions to facilitate lung recruitment and begin spontaneous respiration. A full resuscitation procedure is required by < 1% of newborns. Because you can't always predict the need to perform CPR, at every birth someone trained to conduct such operations should be in attendance. Aim of the study. The aim of this study was to investigate the understanding of neonatal resuscitation at birth among emergency medical personnel. Methods. This study was conducted in 2012 among a group of 270 people (doctors, nurses and paramedics) working in teams of emergency medical services in Poland. The study involved the issue of a questionnaire, checking knowledge of neonatal resuscitation. Results. 79% of respondents knew the time limits for the use of the term 'newborn' . All respondents had knowledge of the order of proceedings in CPR (76-100%) and the ratio of compressions to ventilation during neonatal resuscitation (76-100%). The group of nurses, compared to doctors and paramedics, knew very little about the following topics: energy shock (44% vs. 100% vs. 100%), tidal volume (24% vs. 92% vs. 78%), and the dose of sodium bicarbonate (32% vs. 96% vs. 87%). Conclusions. The best prepared professional groups regarding newborn resuscitation are doctors and paramedics. The incomplete knowledge found in nurses should lead to intensified training in this occupational group.

“…The literature indicates that the retention of skills and knowledge quickly deteriorates if not used regularly or updated. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However if the program involves critical thinking skills and promotes life long learning, knowledge and understanding is retained longer. 8,17 This program was designed to ensure a hands on approach utilising modern training manikins, video or DVD scenarios to ensure a realistic training that mimics real life scenarios.…”

“…Many pediatric and adult studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of resuscitation training courses, but retention of knowledge and skills appears to be a problem. [2][3][4][5] Despite completion of these courses, trainees experience significant stress in real-life situations as they feel unprepared to deal with such clinical emergencies. [5][6][7] Increasing trainee numbers, decreasing training hours and an overall impetus to shorten training curriculum have all contributed to an overall reduction in clinical exposure.…”

High-fidelity simulator technology may not be superior to traditional low-fidelity equipment for neonatal resuscitation training

Objective: Despite completing accredited resuscitation training, neonatal trainees often feel unprepared to deal with real-life clinical emergencies. High-fidelity simulator (HFS) technology offers the potential of recreating a realistic stressful clinical environment to aid training and evaluation. To date, there are limited data examining the physiological impact of this training modality in comparison to less costly alternatives. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of low-fidelity simulator (LFS) versus HFS technology on performance levels, objective and subjective measures of stress in neonatal trainees.Study Design: Sixteen neonatal fellows were invited to participate in a prospective randomized study. Subjects were divided into pairs and randomized to LFS or HFS for completion of scenario I. After an interval of 1 month, fellow teams crossed over to complete scenario II using the alternative simulator technology. Technical and non-technical skills were assessed using validated resuscitation scoring tools. Participants recorded subjective stress at sequential time points before and after each simulation. Buccal cortisol was measured at each corresponding time point and comparison between HFS and LFS groups was made.Result: The mean overall resuscitation performance score was 75.8%±10, but there was no difference in performance between HFS and LFS groups. There was also no significant difference in non-technical skills performance between groups. Salivary cortisol increased over the duration of the simulated experience, but there were no differences between the two groups (P ¼ 0.001, two-way repeated measures analysis of variance). We also identified changes in subjective measures of stress (P<0.001, analysis of variance) over time, but again there were no differences between groups.Conclusion: Simulated neonatal resuscitations induce a significant stress response in neonatal trainees; however, we were unable to identify any difference in stress measures between HFS and LFS. These data suggest that HFS technology offers no additional stress-inducing benefit.
