Neonatal resuscitation is an event that can cause high stress among healthcare professionals (HCPs) and is frequently associated with medical errors. Improving patient safety and reducing errors requires a concerted effort with a plan for improvement. Video can be used as a component of the improvement process at several points including standardizing educational information, assessing learner knowledge and skills during simulation, and assessing individual and team performance during actual neonatal resuscitations.

Ultrasonographic Assessment During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Here, we present a US-CAB (Ultrasound, Circulation/Airway/Breathing) protocol for use during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). US-C evaluates the subxiphoid view of the heart and inferior vena cava. After intubation, tracheal US (US-A) and lung US (US-B) help confirm endotracheal intubation and proper...

Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Placement in a Neonatal Patient Simulator Using a Non-Inflatable Supraglottic Airway (SGA)

This protocol is designed to describe a method to place and establish a supraglottic (alternative) airway during neonatal resuscitation. It can be used in situations where frontline providers cannot ventilate or endotracheally intubate neonates requiring resuscitation.
