AI Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how accurately resuscitation actions in delivery rooms are documented in real time compared to video recordings.
- - Conducted in a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit, the research focused on 50 infants whose resuscitation processes were video recorded to evaluate documentation accuracy.
- - Findings showed that while documentation accurately reflected respiratory support, procedures, and medications (up to 100% accuracy), early vital sign assessments were less precise, with only 77% of recorded heart rates being correct.
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the accuracy of real-time delivery room resuscitation documentation.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Setting: Level 3 academic neonatal intensive care unit.
Participants: Fifty infants with video recording of neonatal resuscitation.
Main Outcome Measures: Vital sign assessments and interventions performed during resuscitation. The accuracy of written documentation was compared with video gold standard.
Results: Timing of initial heart rate assessment agreed with video in 44/50 (88%) records; the documented heart rate was correct in 34/44 (77%) of these. Heart rate and oxygen saturation were documented at 5 min of life in 90% of resuscitations. Of these, 100% of heart rate and 93% of oxygen saturation values were correctly recorded. Written records accurately reflected the mode(s) of respiratory support for 89%-100%, procedures for 91%-100% and medications for 100% of events.
Conclusion: Real-time documentation correctly reflects interventions performed during delivery room resuscitation but is less accurate for early vital sign assessments.
