Transference of Established Simulated Skills (TEST) Trial (NCT06572033)
Transference of Established Simulated Skills (TEST) Trial: Tracking Transference of Positive Pressure Ventilation Skills From Simulation to Delivery Room.
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study aims to determine if skills learned in the simulation lab, specifically in managing mask leak during positive pressure ventilation (PPV), translate effectively to the delivery room. By comparing the performance of healthcare providers on mannequins in the lab to their performance on newborns in the delivery room, the study seeks to establish a Ventilation Performance Score (VPS) based on data from a respiratory function monitor. The primary hypothesis is that a provider's ability to minimize mask leak on a mannequin correlates with their ability to do so with a newborn. The prospective observational TEST Trial will use the Monivent Neo100 to collect and analyze PPV data, comparing key parameters like mask leak and VQS between the two settings to assess correlations. Secondary analysis will explore individual aspects of PPV, such as PIP, PEEP, and eVT.
