A neonatal simulation program significantly improved Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) insertion success rates and reduced procedure times. This training enhanced endotracheal intubation skills, ultimately improving neonatal outcomes and patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Neonatal Intensive Care
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Neonatal units require specialized skills for procedures like central line insertion and intubation.
  • Simulation-based training offers a safe environment to develop and refine these critical skills.
  • The implementation of a neonatal simulation program in a non-simulation unit was explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation, adaptation, and expansion of a neonatal simulation program.
  • To evaluate the clinical impact of the program on procedural success rates and efficiency.
  • To assess the program's generalizability and replicability in other neonatal care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Development of 6 curricula (1 full-day, 5 half-day workshops) for neonatal simulation.

  • Conducted 35 free courses/workshops with 799 participants in Qatar and abroad.
  • Analyzed changes in Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) insertion, LISA catheter insertion, and endotracheal intubation success rates and durations pre- and post-simulation.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall PICC insertion success rate increased from 81.7% to 97.6%; first-attempt success improved from 57.7% to 66.9%.
    • LISA catheter insertion success rate in real patients was 100% with 80.4% first-attempt success; endotracheal intubation first-attempt success improved from 26.6% to 75.5%.
    • Significant improvements observed in procedural times for LISA catheter insertion and endotracheal intubation post-simulation.

    Conclusions:

    • The neonatal simulation program demonstrated significant positive impacts on procedural success and efficiency.
    • Participants reported enhanced skills, contributing to improved neonatal outcomes and reduced harm.
    • The program is a feasible, promising, and replicable model for other neonatal care institutions.
