Background:
Although evidence-based guidelines from the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) are widely used, adherence to the NRP algorithm remains inconsistent across healthcare settings. This study aimed to assess adherence to the NRP algorithm using video recording.
Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted at a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Video recordings of resuscitations for high-risk deliveries, attended by pediatric residents and neonatal fellows, were reviewed from February 2023 to January 2024. Adherence was evaluated using a specified assessment form for procedural steps and techniques according to the 8th edition of the NRP algorithm published by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Results:
Out of 498 video-recorded resuscitations, common deviations during basic resuscitation included overstimulation (53.4 %), excessive suctioning (14.7 %), and inadequate heat loss prevention for preterm neonates ≤32 weeks' gestation (30.6 %). For positive pressure ventilation, common deviations included inconsistent face mask seal (16.9 %), improper finger positioning with the C-E technique (12.3 %), and incorrect ventilation rate (12.3 %). Among 34 intubation attempts, the success rate of the first-attempt intubation was 41.2 %, and prolonged intubation (lasting more than 30 s) occurred in 61.8 %.
Conclusions:
This study demonstrated that video recordings effectively identified several deviations from the NRP algorithm, offering insights into areas for improvement. These recordings may serve as a valuable supplementary tool for NRP training.

01:20Assessment of Ventilation I: Respiratory Rate
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.

Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...
01:29Assessment of Ventilation II: Respiratory Depth and Rhythm
Respiratory depth measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a breath. It can vary from shallow to deep and typically remains consistent when a person is at rest or asleep. Occasionally, individuals will automatically inhale deeply, known as sighing, which inflates the lungs with more air than normal breathing.
To assess respiratory depth, observe the degree of chest excursion or movement:

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...
