Training in newborn resuscitation can reduce term intrapartum-related deaths by 30%18. The Oklahoma Children&#39;s Hospital at University of Oklahoma (OU) Health, located on the campus of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, OK, requires all healthcare providers who assist in the management of newborns to maintain up-to-date NRP training. According to the current NRP guidelines, the most vital aspect of neonatal resuscitation is the effective delivery of positive pre...

Birth asphyxia accounts for ~1 million deaths each year and is a primary cause of early neonatal mortality1.&#160;In high-income countries, the incidence of perinatal asphyxia is ~1/1000 live births; it can be up to 10 times higher in low-middle-income countries1. Approximately 15%-20% of asphyxiated infants die in the first month of life and up to one-fourth of survivors sustain permanent neurologic deficits2,3. As reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, intrauterine hypoxia and birth asphyxia account for 10% of infant mortality4. In the United States, 10% of all newborns need assistance in the delivery room to breathe, with less than 1% needing more advanced resuscitative measures such as cardiac compressions and medications5. Interventions within the first minute of life have important long-term implications for outcomes6.
Effective ventilation using a face mask is often challenging for those who infrequently perform neonatal resuscitation. Resultant hypoxia, bradycardia, and emergent tracheal intubation increase unanticipated neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions. The most common problems associated with a poor face mask technique include mask leakage, air blockage, and insufficient chest excursion7,8,9. NRP includes ventilation corrective steps, but mastery of these skills is difficult if not performed often.
The American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics developed the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) to teach an evidence-based approach to newborn care. The NRP algorithm calls for tracheal intubation when face mask ventilation is ineffective or prolonged5. However, pediatric trainees have also shown difficulty performing intubation and have few opportunities to practice10,11,12. An SGA is an appropriate alternative airway in newborns weighing &#62;1500 g when face mask ventilation is insufficient and endotracheal intubation is unsuccessful or not feasible13,14,15,16. Although many studies support the feasibility and utility of SGA for initial respiratory management in low-middle-income countries, there is a paucity of data to support the use of SGA to perform initial PPV in high-income countries9,10,11.
We speculate that the mastery of SGA use has the potential to reduce PPV interruptions and therefore improve resuscitation outcomes. Our overarching objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of focused SGA training on newborn resuscitation outcomes, including PPV duration, ventilation failures, and complications.

laryngeal mask airway (lma) placement in a neonatal patient simulator using a non-inflatable supraglottic airway (sga)

The effective delivery of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) can be challenging during neonatal resuscitation. Achieving a patent airway through an appropriate interface during neonatal resuscitation is critical for avoiding airway obstruction and leakage and optimizing access to PPV. Due to the complexity of face mask ventilation, providers have explored corrective steps. However, these methods are difficult to master and thus may present a risk for ventilation delay and/or interruptions at the critical time of resuscitation and the development of complications. In addition, neonatal endotracheal intubation is an invasive procedure that requires significant practice and training. The supraglottic airway (SGA) is a useful laryngeal mask airway (LMA) interface that decreases the time required to achieve a secure airway and reduces the need for endotracheal intubation. Despite the available evidence regarding its effectiveness, insufficient training and awareness limit SGA use in the real world, and frontline providers report low confidence in SGA placement. Here we provide a detailed description of SGA placement, the instruction of which requires only minimal training and leads to a short time to proficiency. Briefly, after the administration of initial ventilatory corrective steps in a neonatal manikin, a provider inserts a non-inflatable SGA into the larynx. This method allows for a single individual to provide effective delivery of PPV in a noninvasive manner without the need for expensive equipment such as video laryngoscopy. Instructors can easily teach this technique with ease and little cost in any clinical and research setting. This is also true for different income settings, including high-, middle-, and low-income countries.

Following successful SGA placement, effective PPV can be confirmed by listening for air entry bilaterally in the lungs and visualizing chest wall movement with ventilation (Figure 1). Occasionally, an incorrect position can result in ineffective lung aeration, resulting in failure to raise heart rate, improvements in oxygen saturation, and a color change to yellow on the CO2 colorimeter.
