What this trial studies
The Delivery Room Intervention and Evaluation Network (DRIVE) aims to collect and analyze data on newborns receiving resuscitation at birth across various hospitals in the United States. This observational study focuses on essential neonatal resuscitation practices, including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, to identify best practices and improve outcomes. By gathering standardized data from a diverse population, the DRIVE Network seeks to benchmark performance among participating centers and enhance the educational framework of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program. The initiative addresses existing disparities in infant mortality and aims to improve the quality of care at birth.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are inborn infants who receive significant resuscitation interventions such as CPAP, PPV, intubation, or CPR at birth.
Not a fit: Patients who are not live born will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could lead to improved resuscitation practices and better outcomes for newborns requiring intervention at birth.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies focusing on neonatal resuscitation have shown success in improving practices, but this comprehensive approach to data collection is relatively novel.
