Remote Mentorship to Improve Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Use in the Ethiopian Neonatal Network
Ethiopian nurse-physician mentorship pairs supporting mentee hospitals in standardizing assessments of respiratory distress and optimizing the use of CPAP increased the number of preterm infants treated with CPAP. Significant reduction in preterm mortality postintervention is encouraging as CPAP use continues to scale up globally.
