Key benefits

Improved focus, better outcomes in Newborn Life Support

Despite significant advancements in Newborn Life Support (NLS) training programs, adherence to ERC/AHA neonatal resuscitation guidelines remains a challenge. Alarmingly, studies indicate that in over 54% of delivery room resuscitations, teams deviate from these established protocols. The more complex the resuscitation, the greater the deviation. Traditional tools like posters, checklists, and cognitive aids have shown little to no impact on improving this adherence.

How can we enhance guideline compliance?

Enhance training programs through realistic simulation scenarios.
Increase the frequency of training sessions to reinforce learning.
Implement Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) to guide teams in real time.

Multiple studies confirm that Clinical Decision Support significantly reduces errors and deviations during simulated neonatal resuscitations, leading to improved adherence to guidelines.

‘Decision support tools are designed to fundamentally reduce cognitive load by decreasing cognitive demand and making decision-making less prone to human error’.

‘Healthcare professionals using a decision support tool exhibit significantly fewer deviations from neonatal resuscitation algorithms compared to those working from memory alone’.

The ultimate goal is clear: better patient outcomes, improved survival, and reduced morbidity. This can be achieved by minimizing cognitive burden and enhancing communication within delivery room teams.

The ARNE NLS Decision Support System provides real-time, audio-visual guidance, with key information clearly displayed to the entire delivery room team. This not only supports clinical decisions but also streamlines teamwork and ensures everyone stays aligned throughout the resuscitation process.

Reaching the Gold Standard in Newborn Life Support comfortably

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have established evidence-based guidelines for neonatal resuscitation and the facilitation of newborn transition after birth. These protocols are widely recognized as the gold standard in Newborn Life Support (NLS).

Strict adherence to these guidelines is essential for achieving the best possible patient outcomes. However, in the high-pressure environment of the delivery room, critical steps are easily missed, and communication can falter.

The ARNE NLS Clinical Decision Support System is designed to bridge this gap—making it easier for delivery room teams to follow the NLS algorithm accurately and confidently. By guiding healthcare professionals through each step of the protocol in real time, ARNE NLS helps to:

Prevent errors and omissions during neonatal resuscitation.
Enhance team communication and situational awareness.
Reduce cognitive load and improve overall team focus.

With ARNE NLS, optimizing adherence to neonatal resuscitation guidelines becomes intuitive and seamless—leading to better team coordination, fewer deviations, and ultimately, improved neonatal outcomes.

We’d be delighted to show you how the ARNE NLS system can elevate performance, support your delivery room teams, and improve neonatal care across your organization.

Optimized Newborn Life Support simulation training

Structured and standardized resuscitation training programs have been proven to significantly reduce both early neonatal and 28-day mortality. A key element in achieving this is the simulation of real-life Newborn Life Support (NLS) procedures, which reinforces practical skills and decision-making under pressure.

The ARNE NLS Advisor is uniquely designed to serve a dual purpose:

As a Clinical Decision Support System during real-life neonatal resuscitations
And as a powerful simulation and training tool

Train the Way You Practice

Using the same system for both clinical use and training enhances consistency, reduces the learning curve, and ensures teams are confident and prepared when real emergencies arise. This approach not only improves training effectivenessbut also provides a more cost-efficient solution.

Dedicated Training Mode

The ARNE NLS Advisor includes a specific Training Mode, purpose-built for simulation scenarios. This can be paired with the ARNE Vital Signs Simulator, an application that provides realistic simulated vital sign inputs, no need for expensive patient monitors or complex setups.

This seamless integration enables:

High-fidelity simulation experiences
Improved team comfort and familiarity with the system
Greater consistency between training and real-world procedures
Better overall quality of NLS training
