Pedi-Cap CO2 Detector for Face-mask Ventilation in the Delivery Room

Sponsor: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if using a Pedi-Cap (a type of colorimetric carbon dioxide detector) during face mask ventilation (PPV) for newborn infants in the delivery room will lower the time of PPV needed. A group of nurses, doctors, and respiratory therapists, called the neonatal resuscitation team, will either use or not use the Pedi-Cap during face mask PPV for infants born at ≥30 weeks' gestation. A randomization generator will assign each month to either use the Pedi-Cap or not use the Pedi-Cap. The researchers will collect information from the medical chart to find the infant and mother's information, medical interventions done in the delivery room, and lab values. In addition, resuscitation team members will fill out a survey of their experiences of using or not using the Pedi-Cap during delivery room facemask PPV.
