Asphyxial games have been played by children and adolescents for generations. What seems to be more recent is an increase in mortality linked to the increasing use of ligatures and "playing" the game alone, as reported by the media. This article summarizes the current epidemiological and clinical data on the subject.

Neonatal resuscitation is a skill set that comprises procedures, assessment, decision-making, communication, and teamwork. It is used in an emergency situation in the delivery room with the aim of supporting newborn infants who are not able to begin breathing on their own. Thus, healthcare providers need to refresh their neonatal resuscitation skills periodically, according to the Neonatal Resuscitation Program, to ensure that they can react quickly and effectively in emergency situations.

The disorder of internet gaming is increasingly being blamed on major psychological problems affecting youth. Action video games are enjoyable for masochists. Video game chores that practise bondage and other acts that cause pain and anoxia may be masochistic in nature in order to promote player satisfaction.

Simulation education can benefit healthcare providers (HCPs) by providing opportunities to practice complex neonatal-resuscitation tasks in low-stake environments. To our knowledge, no study investigated the role of growth mindset on longitudinal performance on neonatal resuscitation before and after simulation-based training. This study examines whether 1) the RETAIN digital/table-top simulators facilitate HCPs' neonatal resuscitation knowledge gain, retention, and transfer and 2) growth mindset moderates HCPs' longitudinal performance in neonatal resuscitation.

Background: Neonatal resuscitation involves a complex sequence of actions to establish an infant's cardiorespiratory function at birth. Many of these responses, which identify the best action sequence in each situation, are taught as part of the recurrent Neonatal Resuscitation Program training, but they have a low incidence in practice, which leaves health care providers (HCPs) less prepared to respond appropriately and efficiently when they do occur. Computer-based simulators are increasingly used to complement traditional training in medical education, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic era of mass transition to digital education.
