Tiivistelmä
Neonatal resuscitation is a critical procedure requiring knowledge, rapid decision-making, and effective teamwork to ensure the survival and well-being of newborns experiencing life-threatening conditions. This thesis focuses on creating an educational video that demonstrates the proper techniques for neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), according to the latest guidelines established by the Finnish Käypä hoito recommendations. The project is functional in nature, aiming to address the growing need for easily accessible, standardized educational tools for healthcare professionals, particularly those involved in neonatal care.
The purpose of this thesis was to produce a high-quality instructional video that accurately reflects the current evidence-based practices for neonatal CPR, and the goal of this thesis is to support nursing students learning and skills about cardiopulmonary resuscitation of neonatal patients. Among nursing students, the video also targets healthcare providers, including nurses, midwives, and physicians, who are directly responsible for resuscitating newborns.
The content was developed based on a comprehensive review of Käypä hoito guidelines, ensuring adherence to the latest recommendations on the resuscitation process, including initial assessments, ventilation techniques and chest compressions. Particular emphasis was placed on the unique physiological characteristics of neonates, which necessitate distinct approaches compared to adult or paediatric resuscitation.
Recent guidelines are sought of neonatal resuscitation and this thesis explains how those guidelines are in practice. The main features of good educational video are looked for and utilized while creating an educational video. The final result is a practical and easy-to-use video that can be used for training, as a refresher, or as a quick reference in real-life situations.
