Brief Summary

The overall goal of this study was to create a simulation environment with repeated practice for residents and intense, immediate feedback. Repeated simulations for neonatal resuscitation when coupled with clinical experience have been shown to improve resident confidence.The investigators sought to determine if resident exposure to individual training and video laryngoscopy using the C-MAC video laryngoscope would improve cognitive skills and decrease intubation times in a neonatal manikin. The primary outcome was time to intubation after one year. The secondary outcome was the ability to retain cognitive instruction related to intubation

Conditions

Asphyxia Neonatorum

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Skill in Intubating Neonatal Manikin

  Time in seconds needed to intubate neonatal manikin Skill test on neonatal resuscitation in simulation lab

  Up to two minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Knowledge Concerning Intubation of Neonates

  30 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Education for intubation skills

EXPERIMENTAL

Interventions: Training for Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP); 7 minute excerpt from the NRP training video regarding intubation; cognitive instruction which consisted of equipment needed for intubation; hands on instruction using the Storz video laryngoscope with manikins in simulation lab.

Other: Education for intubation skills

No added education for intubation skills

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Interventions: Training for Routine Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) training; no additional training for intubating newborns.

Other: No added education for intubation skills

Interventions
