Abstract

Managing a single-room maternity care unit in today's declining length of stay climate is challenging due to the rapid change in acuity and census. Managers must validate staffing patterns used to meet the patient's requisite needs from admission to discharge. This tool was developed to determine proper staffing based on patient days, number of anticipated deliveries and patient care hours.

Accuracy of clinical assessment of infant heart rate in the delivery room.

Heart rate (HR) dictates intervention during neonatal resuscitation. Guidelines recommend that HR be assessed by auscultation or palpation. We compared HRs determined clinically with electrocardiography (ECG) in healthy newborns in the delivery room. Clinical assessment by 23 observers randomly allocated to assess HR by one of two methods in 26 infants, was found to be inaccurate and underestimate ECG HR. The mean difference between HR assessed by auscultation and palpation ECG and HR using methodology recommended by the Neonatal Resuscitation Programme was 14 and 22 beats per minute respectively.
