Course Description:
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is an educational program jointly sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA). The NRP course conveys an evidence-based approach to the care of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery. NRP utilizes a blended learning approach, including online testing, case-based simulations, and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focuses on critical leadership, communication, and teamwork skills.
Intended Audience:
The intended audience for this course includes pediatricians, emergency physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals who may be involved in the first critical moments of a newborn infant’s life. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) course format requires learners to self-study the material from the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition, and take a mandatory online examination BEFORE attending their NRP course.
Course Work:
1. Once you register for NRP through the Cooper registration site (enrollware.com), you will be entered into the New NRP Learning Platform.
2. You will receive an email from the no-reply@nrplearningplatform.com site to create an account and be assigned an NRP Global ID. Once this is completed, your registration will then be completed.
3. Once your NRP Global ID is created in the system, you will be assigned the NRP 8th Edition Advanced Provider Curriculum to complete.
4. To successfully pass the course, the learner must complete the Provider Curriculum Part 1 and 2.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this continuing medical education activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the physiologic changes that occur when the fetus transitions to extrauterine life.
- State the steps to take when anticipating and preparing for the birth of a newborn.
- Describe the initial steps of newborn care, including indicators for care at the radiant warmer, oxygen management, and indications for CPAP.
- State indicators for positive-pressure ventilation signs that positive-pressure ventilation is inflating the lungs, ventilation corrective steps, and indicators for insertion of a laryngeal mask.
- State the indicators for insertion of an endotracheal tube and the steps for preparation, insertion, securing, and assisting with this procedure.
- State the indicators for initiating chest compressions, describe the proper technique, and signs that indicate compressions may be discontinued.
- State the epinephrine and volume expander indicators and describe the proper techniques for administering and evaluating this intervention.
- State parameters for the use of post-resuscitation care.
- Describe the strategies specific to resuscitation and stabilization of the preterm newborn.
- Describe the management of the newborn whose clinical status requires special consideration, such as airway complications, lung abnormalities, congenital anomalies, and complications due to maternal opiate or anesthesia exposure.
- Describe the ethical principles of newborn resuscitation, what to do when a baby dies, and how to support parents and staff through the grieving process.
- Recognize the principles of neonatal resuscitation.
- Identify the need for resuscitation and how to provide the initial steps of resuscitation.
- Identify the knowledge and equipment essential to determine and provide positive pressure ventilation.
- State the knowledge and skills essential to provide chest compressions during neonatal resuscitation.
- Name the indications and skills needed to provide endotracheal intubation during neonatal resuscitation.
- Define the scope and practice of the use of medications during neonatal resuscitation.
- Review special situations in neonatal resuscitation; Translate these skills & knowledge for use as needed outside the delivery room.
- Differentiate the indications and skills required in neonatal resuscitation for preterm delivery.
