Summary
This study tested a new simulator for teaching manual ventilation (helping newborns breathe) to 79 Tanzanian students and health professionals. Participants attended lectures, practiced on the simulator, and were evaluated on their ability to achieve target pressure and breathing rate. The goal was to see if a high-fidelity simulator with sensors improves training outcomes compared to simpler versions.
