Impact of Standardized Communication Techniques on Errors during Simulated Neonatal Resuscitation.
Current patterns of communication in high-risk clinical situations, such as resuscitation, are imprecise and prone to error. We hypothesized that the use of standardized communication techniques would decrease the errors committed by resuscitation teams during neonatal resuscitation. ⋯ Should these improvements in human performance be replicated in the care of real newborn infants, they could improve patient outcomes and enhance patient safety.
