Helping Babies Survive educational programs to improve
neonatal survival
Susan Niermeyer, MD, MPH, FAAP University of Colorado, Aurora, Colorado, USA
Helping Babies Survive more than just a workshop
• Content, educational design, innovative models and equipment
• Ongoing practice for mastery of skills • Facility-based improvement activities to
change behavior and outcomes
Helping Babies Survive addressing 3 major causes of neonatal mortality
Severe Infections
Intrapartum-related complications
Complications from preterm birth
3.8 million neonatal deaths and 3.2 million stillbirths per year worldwide
Helping Babies Breathe
• Action Plan • Facilitator Flip Chart • Learner Workbook • Neonatal Simulator • Bag and Mask • Suction Device
materials
Educational design: key principles
• Effectiveness of basic steps,
not intensive care
• Graphic Action Plan and learning materials
• Purpose-built neonatal simulator for skill-building and practice
• Empowerment of birth attendants to change performance and outcomes
Weight 1.6 kg Realistic size and proportions for preterm baby Supports training in
• proper breastfeeding positioning and attachment • correct nasogastric tube placement • spoon, cup and nasogastric tube feeding • continuous skin-to-skin care
Essential Care for Small Babies Preterm simulator
Helping Babies Survive addressing 3 major causes of neonatal mortality
Severe Infections
Intrapartum-related complications
Complications from preterm birth
HBB: Basic resuscitation
ECSB: Continuous skin-to-skin care Alternative feeding methods Hygiene Recognition of problems
ECEB: Hygiene, cord care Skin-to-skin contact Exclusive breastfeeding Recognition of danger signs, antibiotic treatment
The Formula for Survival
patient survival is the result of three equally important factors

Survival
Confronting the challenges of change
• After training, providers want to make change – but an individual cannot make change alone
• Change means taking risks – keeping old practices is safe – avoids criticism and
possible failure
• There are many things that need change – confronting them all is overwhelming

• Identify objective for implementing HBB
• Develop measurement system to assess change (performance, mortality)
• Collect and analyze data • Meet weekly to review
progress and challenges
Ashish KC et al. BMC Pediatrics 2012; 12:159
Are all babies dried thoroughly immediately after birth?
Do all babies have the airway cleared for visible secretions or obstruction only?
Is umbilical cord clamping delayed for at least 1 minute?
Are all babies placed skin-to-skin with the mother after drying?
Do all babies who do not breathe after stimulation receive bag and mask ventilation by 1 minute?
Is equipment prepared and checked before every delivery?
Using the Action Plan to create change

Improving care of mothers and babies
• Facilitator Flipchart – introduction to improvement for every provider
• Provider Guide – questions to improve care in your facility and what to monitor (process and outcome)
• Improvement Workbook – team exercises and guide through the improvement cycle
Key lessons from Helping Babies Survive
• Simplicity and clarity open the door for change • Facility-based skills training initiates change • Mentoring and empowerment of health workers
solidifies change – Practice in pairs, in situ practice, LDHF refreshers,
mentoring • Catalytic role of HBS spreads change
– Focusing attention on babies (and their mothers) – Demystifying interventions (resuscitation, thermal care) – Demystifying a process (quality improvement)
• Monitoring, data collection and utilization of data document and support continued change
