Neonatal resuscitation guideline adherence: simulation study and framework for improvement

Conclusion: NLS guideline adherence among pediatricians needs improvement. Our framework is meant to promote resuscitation guideline adherence.What is Known:•Inadequate newborn life support (NLS) may contribute to (long-term) pulmonary and cerebral damage.•Video-based assessment of neonatal resuscitations has shown that deviations from the NLS guideline occur frequently; this assessment method has its audiovisual shortcomings.What is New:•The resuscitation quality metrics provided by our high-fidelity manikin suggest that the adherence of Dutch general pediatricians to the NLS guideline is suboptimal.•We constructed a comprehensive framework, containing multiple strategies to improve (neonatal) resuscitation guideline adherence.
