  • From simulation room to clinical practice: Postgraduate neonatal nursing students’ transfer of learning from in-situ resuscitation simulation with interprofessional team to clinical practice

    2021, Nurse Education in Practice
    Citation Excerpt :

    Healthcare professionals who resuscitate infants at birth or at any time during the initial hospitalization should follow these guidelines (Wyckoff et al., 2015). Unfortunately, errors and deviations from the resuscitation guidelines range from 15.9% to 54.5%, and in over 50% of resuscitations PPV is interrupted (Mccarthy et al., 2013; Yamada and Halamek, 2015; Skare et al., 2015). Poor communication is strongly correlated with non-compliance with the guidelines (Sawyer et al., 2013; Carbine et al., 2000).

  • Standardising communication to improve in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation

    2020, Resuscitation
    Citation Excerpt :

    Accordingly, standardised communication has the potential to improve patient care during advanced life support (ALS) performed by trained healthcare providers. Recent studies have proposed using standardised communication in neonatal resuscitation to improve communication and chest compression fraction,16,17 and standardised “action-linked phrases” in basic life support has been associated with shorter time to start of chest compressions.18 It is unclear how to standardise communication to facilitate planning ahead and creating a shared mental model to ensure that chest compression pauses are kept as short as possible.

  • The role of human factors in neonatal patient safety

    2019, Seminars in Perinatology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Failures of communication contribute to errors, and errors can result in clinically significant lapses in team performance. The delivery of healthcare requires precise and concise communication, and training in resuscitation must include training in standardized communication.35 The provider and instructor manuals for the NRP, Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) training programs provide education on the cognitive and technical skills needed to resuscitate neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients, respectively.36–41

  • Role of simulation in preparation for the care of conjoined twins-prenatal preparation to separation

    2018, Seminars in Perinatology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Prefacing all closed loop communication with their respective assigned color such as “[Color], requiring X FiO2,” provides greater distinction of actions and status. Practicing these principles of standardized color-coded communications during in-situ simulation can reduce unnecessary noise in attempts to clarify the patient and reduce potential for error.7,17 Often a set of conjoined twins are admitted to the NICU setting for further medical care and while awaiting surgical separation if anticipated.
