- The quality of neonatal resuscitation after delivery needs to be improved to reach the Sustainable Development Goals 3.2 (reducing neonatal deaths to <12/1,000 live newborns) by the year 2030. Studies have emphasized the importance of correctly performing the basic steps of resuscitation including stimulation, heart rate assessment, ventilation, and thermal control. Recordings with video cameras have previously been shown to be one way to identify performance practices during neonatal resuscitation.MethodsA description of a low-cost delivery room set up for video recording of neonatal resuscitation. The technical setup includes rechargeable high-definition cameras with two-way audio, NeoBeat heart rate monitors, and the NeoTapAS data collection tools for iPad with direct data export of data for statistical analysis. The setup was field tested at Mulago National Referral Hospital, Kampala, Uganda, and Phu San Hanoi Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam.ResultsThe setup provided highly detailed resuscitation video footage including data on procedures and team performance, heart rate monitoring, and clinical assessment of the neonate. The data were analyzed with the free-of-charge NeoTapAS for iPad, which allowed fast and accurate registration of all resuscitative events. All events were automatically registered and exported to R statistical software for further analysis.ConclusionsVideo analysis of neonatal resuscitation is an emerging quality assurance tool with the potential to improve neonatal resuscitation outcomes. Our methodology and technical setup are well adapted for low- and lower-middle-income countries settings where improving neonatal resuscitation outcomes is crucial. This delivery room video recording setup also included two-way audio communication that potentially could be implemented in day-to-day practice or used with remote teleconsultants.

- Background Monitoring of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) during neonatal resuscitation is standard of care in high-resource settings, but seldom performed in low-resource settings. We aimed to measure SpO(2) and heart rate during the first 10 min of life in neonates receiving positive pressure ventilation (PPV) according to the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) protocol and compare results with SpO(2) and heart rate targets set by the American Heart Association (AHA). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at Mulago National Referral Hospital, Kampala, Uganda, as a substudy of the NeoSupra Trial. SpO(2) and heart rate were measured on apnoeic neonates (>= 34 weeks) who received PPV according to HBB (room air). Those who remained distressed after PPV received supplemental oxygen (O-2). All resuscitations were video recorded and data were extracted by video review at 1 min intervals until 10 min post partum. Data were analysed for all observations and separately for only observations before and during PPV. Results 49 neonates were analysed. Median SpO(2) at 5 min (n=39) was 67% (49-88) with 59% of the observations below AHA target of 80%. At 10 min median SpO(2) (n=44) was 93% (80-97) and 32% were below AHA target of 85%. When only observations before and during PPV were analysed, median SpO(2) min (n=18) was 52% (34-66) and 83% were below AHA target. At 10 min (n=15), median SpO(2) was 72% (57-89) and 67% were below AHA target. Median heart rates were above AHA target of 100 beats/min at all time intervals. Conclusions A high proportion of neonates resuscitated with PPV after birth failed to reach the AHA SpO(2) target in this small sample, implying an increased risk of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. Further studies in low-resource settings are needed to evaluate baseline data and the need for supplemental O-2 and optimal SpO(2) during PPV.
