This course has been designed to teach an evidence-based
approach to resuscitation of the newborn. The causes, prevention,
and management of mild to severe neonatal asphyxia are carefully
explained so that health professionals may develop optimal
knowledge and skill in resuscitation.
The new extensively updated Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) offers a rich
array of teaching and learning aids based on the 2005 American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/American Heart Association (AHA)
“Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency
Cardiovascular Care: Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines.”
All program components reflect the AAP/AHA guidelines’ increased
emphasis on evidence-based treatment recommendations, as well as
the new International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)
evidence-based consensus on science.
