Summary
This study tested a device called the Augmented Infant Resuscitator (AIR), which attaches to standard bag-mask ventilators used to help newborns breathe. It gives real-time visual feedback to clinicians on their ventilation technique. Researchers enrolled 250 birth attendants to see if the device improves their skills during training and up to 6 months later. The goal is to make resuscitation training faster and more effective, especially in low-resource settings.
