Summary
This multicentre study describes the development and evaluation of eLearning modules (LEARN-CHD) on delivery room management of neonates with critical congenital heart disease. Teams from nine centres were randomised to online modules or directed readings, with individual knowledge tests and team performance assessed in simulated scenarios including hypoplastic left heart syndrome, d-transposition of the great arteries and congenital complete heart block. Modules improved knowledge scores, while simulation performance was largely similar between groups. The authors call for further educational development and incorporation of CCHD delivery room adaptations into standard neonatal resuscitation training.
