Simulation training has its roots in the aerospace industry. Many patient care situations, such as neonatal resuscitation, require technically complex skills and a high level of interdependence among ...

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) has transitioned to a simulation-based format. We hypothesized that immersive simulation differentially impacts similar trainee populations’ resuscitation ...

Providing adequate bag-mask ventilation (BMV) is an essential skill for neonatal resuscitation. Often this skill is learned using simulation manikins. Currently, there is no means of measuring the ...

Objective data reflect the realism of high-fidelity simulation-based training. One study measured heart rate variability, a marker of the autonomic nervous system, to assess trainees' mental workload ...

Laerdal Medical, in alliance with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), has developed a second volume of pre-programmed scenarios for use with Laerdal's SimNewB (TM) neonatal patient simulator.

Why are complications associated with preterm births more difficult than with full term births? Why is it so difficult to train for these complications? It's difficult to practice skills on preterm ...

NASHVILLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HealthStream (Nasdaq: HSTM), a leading healthcare technology platform for workforce solutions, and the American Red Cross announce a significant expansion of the Red Cross ...

Face-mask ventilation is the most common resuscitation method for birth asphyxia. Ventilation with a cuffless laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has potential advantages over face-mask ventilation during ...

DENVER, April 22, 2022 – A new study examines the effect of rapid infusion of 2meq/kg of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in an ovine model on gas exchange and coronary and cerebral perfusion in the ...

Nepal's first Maternal and Neonatal Simulation Lab opens in Kathmandu to strengthen clinical skills and improve outcomes for mothers and newborns. Simulation labs like this will be available in all ...
