Summary
A modified three-round European Delphi study involving 144 physicians and non-physician professionals with neonatal transport experience from 14 countries, identifying and prioritising medical skills for a simulation-based training curriculum for interdisciplinary neonatal interhospital transport teams. Consensus was reached on 21 skills for physicians and 34 for non-physician staff. Top physician skills included manual non-invasive ventilation, mechanical ventilation set-up, chest compressions, intubation and umbilical venous catheterisation; top non-physician skills included transport incubator set-up, monitoring and infusion management. It supports curriculum development for transport team education.
