Scoping Key suggestions: • Staff knowledge/skills in
neonatal care including assessment, initial management at birth and resuscitation
• Standardisation of approach
to neonatal resuscitation • Leadership
• Clarify communication systems • Equipment including fetal &
neonatal monitoring • Transportation between wards • Thermoregulation • Discharge examination of the
newborn • Health care support role

Individual accounts from practice (I)
‘’… from August up to February this year, we have not recorded any mortality … the referrals can even be counted … it has greatly improved our skills…’’ (Midwife)
‘’Since I received that neonatal resuscitation…we refer them at the point the babies are stable now … we know how to manage…’’(Nurse)
![Page 21: Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in ...€¦ · Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in Neonatal Resuscitation: Establishing Grounds for](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053003/5f0737db7e708231d41be59b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Individual accounts from practice (II)
‘…we managed to resuscitate the baby until the baby was out of danger. And then we referred …for further management…’ (Midwife from lower level hospital)
‘… the training we have got has really impacted on our services in a positive way, in that our babies and mothers are being saved. We no longer lose lives…’ (Midwife)
![Page 22: Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in ...€¦ · Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in Neonatal Resuscitation: Establishing Grounds for](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053003/5f0737db7e708231d41be59b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Internalising Clinical knowledge (I)
‘…you don’t even go through those complicated stages, where you need to intubate and the rest…’’’ (Paediatrician)
‘’… I’ve seen it as a good thing, this course. It has really changed the way we used to look at some of the things, as in where we resuscitate now, where the priority is not centred in oxygen...’’ (Midwife)
‘…I really did apply, you know, stage by stage – the … inflation, yes. … inflation breaths was not something that was emphasised, yes, we would go into the ventilation breath immediately …’ (Paediatrician)
![Page 24: Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in ...€¦ · Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in Neonatal Resuscitation: Establishing Grounds for](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053003/5f0737db7e708231d41be59b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Internalising Clinical knowledge(II)
‘
‘…apart from the resuscitation itself there are other things … We are now delivering the babies onto the mother’s abdomen because we have learnt about the skin to skin contact. We are delaying cord clamping. All those majors are helpful in making the baby alive. Yes, so there is change like that…’ (Midwife)
![Page 25: Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in ...€¦ · Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Training Intervention in Neonatal Resuscitation: Establishing Grounds for](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053003/5f0737db7e708231d41be59b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Important insights from Clinical log of experience
…delivered as an emergency caesarean section due to cord presentation and fetal distress
…resuscitaire warmed…baby…wiped, stimulated and wrapped in dry clean clothing…assessed…not breathing…floppy…blue…low heart rate
…five(5) inflation breath given chest expansion observed…
…baby reassessed breathing normal, heart rate fast, tone good and colour pink …cried…wrapped in warm clothing and given to mother…
…I did not start the clock…
