Summary
This completed study in Nepal tested whether a 5-day simulation training program for birth attendants could improve their skills in managing newborn asphyxia. The training used a baby mannequin called NeoNatalie to practice resuscitation. Researchers compared the skills of health workers and newborn health outcomes before and after the training in 95 birthing centers.

Active substance
Simulation training for newborn resuscitation using a mannequin (NeoNatalie)
What this could lead to
If successful, this training approach could improve newborn survival in low-resource settings by helping birth attendants manage birth asphyxia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial in one district of Nepal, so results may not apply to other regions or larger populations. The study measures skill performance, not directly long-term survival.
