Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Training will be delivered on a premature mannequin (Lifecast Body Simulation Ltd, London, UK) will be used, which resembles a 28-week gestation newborn. Ventilation will be delivered using a small size Fisher and Paycal (Auckland, New Zealand) facemask and T-piece resuscitaire (Neopuff, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Auckland, New Zealand) with settings of 8l/min gas flow, Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) 25cmH20 and Peak End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) 5cmH20, which are standard settings for a preterm newborn.

Intervention arm will receive the JUNO training device. In the intervention group each healthcare professional (HCP) will be demonstrated standard facemask technique. Training will be delivered by a Neonatologist from the Newborn Emergency Transfer Service of Western Australia (NETS-WA). The facilitator will assist the HCP to achieve good chest rise determined via visual inspection. In addition to this standard training, the intervention group will receive Juno monitor training. During the Juno monitor training, the “training mode” will be displayed to give real-time feedback. The facilitator will use this information to assist the HCP until “no leak” has been achieved, as well as achieving appropriate volumes and respiratory rates for the estimated weight of the baby.

The Juno training monitor (ResusRight™, Sydney, Australia) has been designed specifically for education. This device fits in-line to a self-inflating bag or pressure limited flow regulator. It provides real time feedback on leak percentage, tidal volume and respiratory rate.

Training will be delivered in a group format to between 8-10 participants at a time. Each participant will then have the opportunity to practice with the Juno monitor one-on-one during the airway station of the NeoStars course which is 45-minutes in duration.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Concealed. Allocation involved contacting the holder of the allocation schedule who was at central administration site.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomisation using a randomisation table created by computer software. Stratified according to clinical role.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
An equal allocation of 30 HCPs per group (60 in total) is required to observe a statistically significant (alpha equal to 0.05) difference in the proportion of participants achieving at least 10% improvement with greater than 80% power, assuming standard training alone will increase the “no leak” time for all participants by 10%. The estimate is calculated via simulation using parameters from a prior study using the Juno RFM with a T-piece resuscitator on pre-term manikins in a sample of experienced neonatal staff. Using this study’s parameters, we assume a baseline level of 65% time with no leak (standard deviation equals 15%), and 85% time with no leak in the Juno group after training (standard deviation equals 15%). For those in the control group), we assume a 10% improvement due to training resulting in 71.5% time with no leak (standard deviation equals 15%). We ran 1000 simulations, using these parameters, and calculated whether each participant achieved an improvement of more than 10% from their individual baseline score. The resulting dichotomous variable was compared to group assignment by means of Chi-squared test. After accounting for 10% drop out per group, we maintain at least 80% power.
