Introduction:
Video recording and video evaluation tools have been successfully used to evaluate neonatal resuscitation performance. The objective of our study was to evaluate differences in Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) adherence at time of birth between three temporal resuscitative periods using scored video recordings.
Methods:
This is a retrospective review of in-situ resuscitation video recordings from a level 3 perinatal center between 2017 and 2018. The modified Neonatal Resuscitation Assessment (mNRA) scoring tool was used as a surrogate marker to assess NRP adherence during daytime, evening, and nighttime hours.
Results:
A total of 260 resuscitations, of which 258 were births via Cesarean section, were assessed. mNRA composite scores were 86.2% during daytime hours, 87% during evening hours, and 86.6% during nighttime hours. There were no significant differences in mNRA composite scores between any of the three time periods. Differences remained statistically similar after controlling for complexity of resuscitations with administration of positive pressure ventilation (PPV), intubation, or chest compressions.
Conclusion:
Overall adherence to NRP, as measured by composite mNRA scores as a surrogate marker, was high across all three daily resuscitative periods without significant differences between daytime, evening, and nighttime hours.

A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.

Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...
