Information sharing | Providers verbalised information to other team members about the infant's status. For example, verbalisation of heart rate, colour, tone, vocal cord visualisation, statements of opinion, advocating of views in non-critical moments and other relevant observations or impressions about the baby's status. |
Inquiry | Providers asked questions of each other about anything related to the resuscitation. |
Assertion | A provider asserted an opinion about the resuscitation process (through questions or statements) during critical times. Assertion did not include routine statements or questions about a baby's heart rate, tone, colour and respirations. |
Intentions shared | A provider states their intentions before deviating from the normal procedure. Statements about following routine Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines are not examples of sharing intentions. |
Teaching/advising | Teaching is an exchange of information between any of the providers where the topic extends beyond the current resuscitation and conveys information about other situations that are similar. This definition also includes advice concerning another provider's technique during the resuscitation. Teaching may be short and informal information exchanges. |
Evaluation of plans | An explicit and detailed discussion about the status of the baby and the decisions made to get to the current situation. |
Vigilance (state) | Providers remained alert and focused on the resuscitation. Lack of vigilance was coded when any of the team members lost focus on the resuscitation for at least 3 s. |
Workload management (state) | Tasks were prioritised and distributed among the team members. A loss of workload management was coded when less than three providers were working on the resuscitation for at least 3 s. |
