Description

Background

• Neonatal resuscitation is a high acuity, low-occurrence (HALO) event

• Clinicians in hospitals with low birth volumes lack regular opportunities to maintain Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP®) skills due to low birth volumes

• Data used for this analysis was provided through the Northeast Regional Hypothermia Consortium of neonates who received therapeutic hypothermia at four northern New England tertiary care centers

• We investigated differences in resuscitative practices in hospitals with varied birth volumes.
