Practice makes perfect: can simulated drills save newborns?
NCT ID NCT06064045
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether extra simulation-based team training for doctors and nurses in pediatric departments improves teamwork, patient safety, and newborn health. About 1,200 healthcare workers from eight departments took part, with half receiving extra training and half continuing as usual. Researchers measured sick leave, safety culture, and newborn Apgar scores to see if the training made a difference.
