To measure performance, fidelity and preference of two emergency umbilical vessel catheter (eUVC) simulation models.
A randomized crossover trial of senior pediatric residents randomized to place an eUVC first using a real cord (RC) or simulated cord (SC), and then place an eUVC using the other model. The eUVC placement times were recorded and analyzed. Subjects rated physical and functional fidelity and preference for each model.
The eUVC placement time (mean±s.d. s) was slower in RC vs SC (153 s ±71 vs 88 s ±35, P<0.001), however, there was no difference in eUVC placement time in the group that worked with SC first (115 s ±36 vs 97 s ±35, P=0.161). Physical and functional fidelity of RC were rated higher than SC (P<0.001), and RC were preferred.
RC has higher physical and functional fidelity, and are preferred for training by pediatric residents, despite longer placement times.Journal of Perinatology advance online publication, 27 October 2016; doi:10.1038/jp.2016.194.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 17. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 May 2025.
All research outputs
#2,391,692
of 28,297,031 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Perinatology
#290
of 3,364 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,396
of 315,725 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Perinatology
#12
of 55 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,297,031 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,364 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,725 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 55 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
