Summary
This observational study reviewed 43 real-life videos of interdisciplinary teams (midwives, obstetricians, anaesthetists and paediatricians) managing newborns with difficult transition at birth. It examined whether teams' non-technical skills, rated with the Global Assessment Of Team Performance checklist, were associated with adherence to the European Resuscitation Council newborn resuscitation guideline, assessed with the TeamOBS-Newborn checklist. Teams with excellent non-technical skills were considerably more likely to achieve high clinical performance, with a dose–response pattern. Leadership and teamwork, coping with stress and fatigue, and communication with parents were the skills most strongly linked to guideline adherence.
