Timeline and Key Events during the Initiative to Improve Ventilation Quality in Children in Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units. This figure illustrates the chronological sequence of milestones, training, and evaluation measures during the initiative to enhance ventilator quality for children in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. The timeline represents pre-intervention, implementation, and post-intervention time points. As part of the intervention, staff engaged in self-study by streaming the educational film 185 times (yellow triangles). Additionally, six collaborative video training sessions with discussions were conducted to enhance training (light green triangles). Team performance was assessed through theory tests (TT) and practical skill tests (PST) during 42 evaluation sessions (light green dots). Furthermore, compliance with patient-specific treatment goals was monitored through 662 random checks across 213 patients receiving respiratory support in both intensive care units (dark blue-green dots). During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, between February 2020 and April 2020, the random checks were temporarily paused due to visiting restrictions (light red ribbon)
