Yamada 2015.
Methods | Randomised, prospective, cross‐over study evaluating the use of SCTs in decreasing errors during simulated neonatal resuscitation |
Participants | 13 participants were recruited |
Interventions | Participants performed as lead resuscitator in 2 simulated neonatal resuscitations. 2 confederates were trained to use or not use SCTs based on randomisation. Participants led 1 scenario in which confederates used non‐standard communication, and a second in which confederates used SCTs. Order of scenarios and communication methods were randomised. An NRP instructor blinded to group assignment reviewed each videotaped resuscitation |
Outcomes | Primary outcome measures were: calculated per cent error rate, time to initiation of positive pressure ventilation and time to initiation of chest compressions |
Notes | Data on the study and methodology requested from the investigators |
NRP: Neonatal Resuscitation Program; SCT: standardised communication technique.
