Control
MR SOPA
"Control group" Health care provider randomized to the control group will receive a copy of the NRP text pages discussing MR SOPA at every shift for self-study. They will be encouraged by the educator to study these pages for five minutes at every shift. The educator will be there to answer questions if they arise.
Health care provider randomized to the "MR SOPA" group will receive MR SOPA training provided by a qualified educator on every shift. This training will be five minutes long and will consist of each MR SOPA step. These corrective steps will be demonstrated and practiced on a low-fidelity neonatal mannequin. Each participant will receive five minutes of training at the start of each shift. The educator will teach mask adjustment, and airway reposition. If either of these first steps is unsuccessful the participant will learn about mouth and nose suction, open mouth and increase of airway pressure. All participants will also learn and practice alternative airways placement including intubation and laryngeal mask airway placement.
