The past decade has been notable for widespread dissemination of newborn resuscitation training in low-resource settings through simplified training programs including Helping Babies Breathe. Since 2020, implementation efforts have been impacted by restrictions on travel and in-person gatherings with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, prompting the development of alternative methods of training. While previous studies have demonstrated feasibility of remote neonatal resuscitation training, this perspective paper covers common barriers identified and key lessons learned developing a cadre of remote facilitators. Challenges of remote facilitation include mastering videoconferencing platforms, establishing personal connections, and providing effective oversight of skills practice. Training sessions can be used to support facilitators in acquiring comfort and competency in harnessing videoconferencing platforms for effective facilitation. Optimization of approaches and investment in capacity building of remote facilitators are imperative for effective implementation of remote neonatal resuscitation training. |
