Part of a behavioural competency series, this video uses 'done wrong vs done right' NICU scenarios to teach environmental and equipment situational awareness at the cot side. It covers checking CPAP and ventilator settings and alarm limits, inspecting tubing and interfaces, having emergency airway supplies ready, and communicating and correcting hazards as a team.
Third-party teaching is shown for education. Check it against your unit's guidance.
