Limited training in targeted neurological examination makes it challenging for frontline providers to identify newborns with perinatal asphyxia eligible for therapeutic hypothermia. This training is important in the era of telemedicine, where the experts can remotely guide further care of these newborns.This randomized controlled pilot study was conducted in a South Indian tertiary hospital. Neonatal nurses, who had no previous hands-on experience in MSEE, were trained in modified Sarnat staging by a didactic teaching session using online teaching module. The nurses were then randomized into two groups for hands-on demonstration by the same trainer (low-fidelity mannequin versus a healthy term newly born infant). After the training period, MSEEs of a normal newborn were performed independently by nurses and were video recorded and assessed by three blinded neonatologists with expertise in neonatal neurology. A follow-up examination was performed by the same nurses after three months to assess skill retention.The 10 global ratings of the components of the MSEE were comparable among both groups in both initial and follow-up assessments. The overall diagnostic value was comparable between the simulation and traditional groups (93.75%, 94.11%, respectively). Follow-up examination after three months showed better skill retention in the simulation group (84%) compared with the traditional group (66.7%).Online-based and low-fidelity mannequin training was equally effective as the traditional method of teaching MSEE in term neonates. |
