Popis: Objective: To evaluate performance of initial steps of newborn resuscitation according to the American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics’ Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines in the prehospital setting. Study Design: Observational study of 265 paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) from 45 EMS teams recruited from public fire and private transport agencies in a major metropolitan area. Participants completed a baseline questionnaire assessing demographics, experience, and comfort in caring for children. Simulations were conducted April 2015 to March 2016. Technical performance was evaluated by blinded video review. NRP actions were assessed using a structured performance tool. Results: Two hundred sixty-five EMS providers responded to survey questions and participated in simulations. In total, 16% reported feeling very or extremely comfortable caring for children
