Self-directed video versus instructor-based neonatal resuscitation training: a randomized controlled blinded non-inferiority multicenter international study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the efficacy of video-assisted self-directed neonatal resuscitation skills course with video-assisted facilitator-led course.

Methods

This multicenter, randomized, blinded, non-inferiority-controlled trial compared two methods of teaching basic neonatal resuscitation skills using mask ventilation. Groups of novice providers watched an instructional video. One group received instructor facilitation (Ins-Video). The other group did not (Self-Video). An Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) measured skills performance, and a written test gauged knowledge.

Results

One hundred and thirty-four students completed the study. Sixty-three of 68 in the Self-Video Group (92.6%) and 59 of 66 in the Ins-Video Group (89.4%) achieved post-training competency in positive pressure ventilation (primary outcome). OSCE passing rates were low in both groups. Knowledge survey scores were comparable between groups and non-inferior.

Conclusions

Video self-instruction taught novice providers positive pressure ventilation skills and theoretical knowledge, but it was insufficient for mastery of basic neonatal resuscitation in simulation environment.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess the impact of mobile virtual reality (VR) simulations using electronic Helping Babies Breathe (eHBB) or video for the maintenance of neonatal resuscitation skills in healthcare workers in resource-scarce settings.DesignRandomised controlled trial with 6-month follow-up (2018-2020).SettingSecondary and tertiary healthcare facilities.Participants274 nurses and midwives assigned to labour and delivery, operating room and newborn care units were recruited from 20 healthcare facilities in Nigeria and Kenya and randomised to one of three groups: VR (eHBB+digital guide), video (video+digital guide) or control (digital guide only) groups before an in-person HBB course.InterventionseHBB VR simulation or neonatal resuscitation video.Main outcomesHealthcare worker neonatal resuscitation skills using standardised checklists in a simulated setting at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.ResultsNeonatal resuscitation skills pass rates were similar among the groups at 6-month follow-up for bag-and-mask ventilation (BMV) skills check (VR 28%, video 25%, control 22%, p=0.71), objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) A (VR 76%, video 76%, control 72%, p=0.78) and OSCE B (VR 62%, video 60%, control 49%, p=0.18). Relative to the immediate postcourse assessments, there was greater retention of BMV skills at 6 months in the VR group (-15% VR, p=0.10; -21% video, p<0.01, -27% control, p=0.001). OSCE B pass rates in the VR group were numerically higher at 3 months (+4%, p=0.64) and 6 months (+3%, p=0.74) and lower in the video (-21% at 3 months, p<0.001; -14% at 6 months, p=0.066) and control groups (-7% at 3 months, p=0.43; -14% at 6 months, p=0.10). On follow-up survey, 95% (n=65) of respondents in the VR group and 98% (n=82) in the video group would use their assigned intervention again.ConclusioneHBB VR training was highly acceptable to healthcare workers in low-income to middle-income countries and may provide additional support for neonatal resuscitation skills retention compared with other digital interventions.

Project description:BackgroundSkilled birth attendants must be competent to provide prompt resuscitation to save newborn lives at birth. Both knowledge and skills (competence) decline with time after training but the optimal duration for refresher training among frontline-skilled birth attendants in low-resource settings is unknown.ObjectivesWe assessed the effect of an innovative Helping-Babies-Breathe simulation-based teaching method using video-debriefing compared to standard Helping-Babies-Breathe training on 1) neonatal resuscitation knowledge and skills attainment and 2) competence retention among skilled birth attendants in Northern Uganda.MethodsA total of 26 health facilities with 86 birth attendants were equally randomised to intervention and control arms. The 2nd edition of the American Association of Pediatrics Helping-Babies-Breathe curriculum was used for training and assessment. Knowledge and skills were assessed pre- and post-training, and during follow-up at 6 months. A mixed effects linear regression model for repeated measures was used to assess the short and long-term effects of the intervention on neonatal resuscitation practices while accounting for clustering.ResultsEighty-two (95.3%) skilled birth attendants completed follow-up at 6 months. Approximately 80% of these had no prior Helping-Babies-Breathe training and 75% reported practicing neonatal resuscitation routinely. Standard Helping-Babies-Breathe training with video-debriefing improved knowledge and skills attainment post-training [adjusted mean difference: 5.34; 95% CI: 0.82-10.78] and retention [adjusted mean difference: 2.97; 95% CI: 1.52-4.41] over 6 months post-training compared to standard training after adjusting for confounding and clustering. Factors that reduced knowledge and skills retention among birth attendants were monthly resuscitation of one neonate or more and being in service for more than 5 years.ConclusionAdding video-debriefing to standard Helping-Babies-Breathe training had an effect on birth attendants' competence attainment and retention over 6 months in Uganda. However, more research is needed to justify the proposed intervention in this context.

Project description:BackgroundNeonatal tele-resuscitation uses real-time, audio-video telemedicine to connect neonatologists with community hospital care teams during advanced neonatal resuscitations. While telemedicine continues to expand, best practices for training fellows in tele-resuscitation are not known.ObjectiveWe aimed to develop a neonatal tele-resuscitation curriculum using a simulation-based mastery learning model that provides neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM) fellows with the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to lead tele-resuscitations.MethodsUsing technology-enhanced simulation education and a mastery learning model, we developed a longitudinal pilot tele-resuscitation curriculum. From 07/2018 to 03/2021, NPM fellows participated in the curriculum, which included individualized telemedicine learning, observing and leading simulated tele-resuscitations, and finally, performing clinical (non-simulated) tele-resuscitations. A performance assessment tool was developed to assess competency through eight questions mapped to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies, with responses on a 1 to 5 scale (1 = critical deficiencies; 5 = competence of an expert).ResultsFour NPM fellows participated in the curriculum, progressing through the curriculum at an individualized pace. Median scores on the three learning modules were 96-100%. Fellows participated in variable number of simulated tele-resuscitations based on when mastery was achieved (2-3 supervised simulations per fellow, 1-4 unsupervised simulations per fellow). In total, eighteen simulated tele-resuscitations (eight unsupervised, 10 supervised) and one clinical tele-resuscitation were conducted. Twenty-five performance assessments were completed. Assessment scores across the ACGME competencies were consistently high, with mean scores ranging from 4.2-4.6, with 4 equating to 'ready for unsupervised practice' and 5 equating to 'competence of an expert'.ConclusionsAs telemedicine use continues to expand, curricula that improve learners' comfort with and proficiency in tele-resuscitation are essential. A simulation-based mastery learning model may be one approach that affords learners gradual exposure to and mastery of complex tele-resuscitation skills and behaviors.
