#475 - đźź  [CHNC 2026] - What Does a CPR Coach Actually Do During a NICU Code?

Send us Fan Mail During a code, who is making sure the chest compressions are actually high quality? Recording live at the CHNC Symposium, Daphna sits down with Gina Klein, a simulation education consultant, and Sherry Casey, a NICU nurse and simulation coordinator, both from Cincinnati Children’s, to discuss their poster on implementing the CPR coach. Gina explains how video review in the emergency department revealed the microbehaviors that make feedback effective, like giving one piece of feedback at a time, and how that became a free curriculum at cincycpr.org. Sherry describes adapting it for the NICU, with a code blue arrival algorithm, clear criteria for switching to PALS, and an APP assigned as CPR coach on every floor each day.
