Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective multicenter randomized control trial to assess percentage mask leak six months post instructor led positive pressure ventilation skills training in providers who undergo booster training compared to those who do not undergo any booster training

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Baseline positive pressure ventilation skill assessment of all study participants: Site principal investigators will recruit eligible providers for the trial. Participants will fill out study enrollment sheet which will ask for 1. Demographic information 2. Profession 3. Experience (number of times positive pressure ventilation performed on a newborn in the last 6 months) 4. Last time Neonatal Resuscitation Program course attended and 5. Institution. Participants will perform 1 minute of positive pressure ventilation on the cart. During this baseline assessment, there is no audio-visual feedback or display. The cart will record data on mask leak, pressure used, ventilation rate, head positioning.

Pre-randomization Standardized Instructor Led Skills Training: All study participants will undergo the standard instructor-led positive pressure ventilation skills training. Each site will have a designated study instructor who will remain blinded to the baseline positive pressure ventilation skill assessment data. Study instructors will use a standardized script as a guide for the instructor led positive pressure ventilation skills training. This training will occur with the same manikin and equipment as the one available at the cart. This training will decrease the impact of variability in prior training received by the study participants.

Post- Instructor led positive pressure ventilation skills training Assessment: Immediately after the instructor led training, participants will perform 1-minute positive pressure ventilation on the cart. This will also be a blinded assessment without any display or feedback. Comparison of pre- and post- instructor led training assessments will provide unique data to evaluate if instructor led training changes the positive pressure ventilation skills.

Randomization with minimization procedure: Randomization will be provided by a secure website using the computer-generated randomization and the minimization procedure. The goal of the minimization procedure is to prevent an imbalance of factors that may influence positive pressure ventilation skill retention. Factors that will be taken into account during minimization procedure are

1\. PPV skill proficiency during baseline pre-instructor led training assessment: Based on the pre-training skill assessment, each participant will be coded as a Group A \[Proficient\] or Group B \[not proficient\]. Participants will be considered proficient if participants are able to achieve low mask leak (\< 30%) on \>80% of ventilations provided. Only study Principal investigator and research nurse will have access to this data. 2. Profession 3. Experience (number of times positive pressure ventilation performed on a newborn in the last 6 months) 4. Last time NRP course attended and 5. Institution. Based on this information, the randomization website will assign them to the intervention (booster training) or control group (no booster training) with 1:1 allocation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Booster Training Group

Participants randomized to intervention will undergo booster training sessions with the RQI cart (including audiovisual feedback) at 3, 6 and 9 months post instructor-led training session. Following each of these booster sessions, the participants will undergo 1 minute assessments, without feedback.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Booster Training with the Neonatal Resuscitation Quality Improvement Cart

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The cart will give providers audio-visual feedback and walk them through how to perform effective positive pressure ventilation with correct head positioning, appropriate Peak Inspiratory Pressure and Peak End Expiratory Pressure, no mask leak and ventilation rate of 40 per minute. Participants will be able to spend up to 30 minutes with the cart before undergoing their 1 minute assessment, which will be without feedback.

No Booster Training Group

Participants randomized to the control group will undergo 1 minute assessments, without feedback, at 6 and 9 months. Participants will not be able to access the RQI cart outside of their assessment.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Any Neonatal Resuscitation Program-card carrying provider at the participating sites (University of Texas Southwestern, Stanford University and St. Louis University).

Exclusion Criteria

* Novice providers, who have never taken an Neonatal Resuscitation Program course, will be excluded as participant may not be familiar with the equipment to initiate positive pressure ventilation skills without a face-to-face interaction with an instructor
