Association between video laryngoscopy and adverse tracheal intubation-associated events in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The purpose of this single-site retrospective cohort study was to consider the possible effect of video laryngoscopy on adverse events during neonatal tracheal intubation. The researchers conclude that video laryngoscopy was independently associated with decreased risk for adverse events.

Neonatal nurses experience unintended consequences and risks to patient safety with electronic health records.
The purposes of this study were to describe unintended consequences of use of electronic health records for neonatal nurses and to explore relationships between the phenomena and characteristics of the nurse and the electronic health record. The most frequent unintended consequences of electronic health record use were due to interruptions, followed by a heavier workload due to the electronic health record.

An intervention to improve transitions from NICU to ambulatory care: quasi-experimental study.
The authors tested whether a multifaceted intervention that included a health coach to assist families and an enhanced personal health record to improve the quality of information available to parents and community professionals would decrease adverse events and improve family assessment of the transition of infants born prematurely or with complex medical problems to home. They found that a multicomponent discharge intervention designed to address specific problems identified using Healthcare Failure Modes and Effects Analysis did not reduce certain adverse outcomes in the post-discharge period.

Burnout in the NICU setting and its relation to safety culture.
The objectives of this study are three-fold: to test the psychometric properties of a brief four-item burnout scale; to provide neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) burnout and resilience benchmarking data across different units and caregiver types; and to examine the relationships between caregiver burnout and patient safety culture. The authors found that NICU caregiver burnout appears to have 'climate-like' features, is prevalent, and is associated with lower perceptions of patient safety culture.

Exposure to Leadership WalkRounds in neonatal intensive care units is associated with a better patient safety culture and less caregiver burnout.
The aims of this study were to evaluate the association between WalkRound (WR) feedback, patient safety culture, and caregiver burnout. It found that more WR feedback was associated with better safety culture results and lower burnout rates in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
