Mobile Application as a Clinical Decision Support Tool for Neonatal Resuscitation in the Delivery Room

The need for neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the delivery room is rare with less than 1% of newborns requiring advanced resuscitation. The use of clinical decision support tools to guide practitioners on medical procedure steps is recognized by the medical community. In this randomized bi-centric controlled study, we investigate the effect of a mobile phone application on technical and non-technical performance of student trinomials managing simulated critical neonatal events

Inclusion Criteria:All pediatric residents in Lyon and Caen University with at least a three-month clinical experience in a neonatal intensive care unit and one or more high fidelity neonatal resuscitation simulation sessions participationAll midwife students in Lyon and Caen which had benefited from teaching classes on neonatal resuscitationExclusion Criteria:Participants who didn't attend one of the scheduled study sessions.
