New 8th Edition!
Innovative resource for interactive, simulation-based teaching and learning
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 course is designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn to health care professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery.
NRP Essentials and NRP Advanced
The NRP, 8th edition, introduces a new educational methodology to better meet the needs of health care professionals who manage the newly born baby.
New in the 8th edition
Key Points at the beginning of each lesson. Quick Response (QR) codes that enable the reader to view short videos about the topics on their mobile device. Lesson Review Questions grouped together at the end of each lesson. Quality Improvement Opportunities and Frequently Asked Questions in each lesson. New sections in Lesson 10 (Special Considerations) about resuscitation of the newborn with a myelomeningocele or an abdominal wall defect. Three Supplemental Lessons (Improving Resuscitation Team Performance, Resuscitation Outside the Delivery Room, and Bringing Quality Improvement to Your Resuscitation Team) that allow NRP users to enhance their resuscitation knowledge and performance.
Review
**Description**
This eighth edition on neonatal resuscitation updates the last edition (2016) with new educational methodologies to help train providers who care for newborns in the delivery room. In this new edition, there are now two curriculum levels and two methods of delivering the content. This edition updates previous guidance based on the most recent CoSTaR document (Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations) published by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), which is appended at the back of the book.
**Purpose**
The purpose of this book is to train all providers of various levels to master the cognitive, technical, and behavioral skills to conduct a successful delivery room resuscitation. Virtually every hospital in the United States requires this training, but the AAP Neonatal Resuscitation Steering Committee continues to try to make this more effective since completion of the course does not ensure competency. This latest edition, with the supplementation of the NRP Learning Platform, makes this goal more attainable.
**Audience**
The book is directed at all neonatal providers, from nurses to medical students and physician providers at every level. Each successive edition of this text has advanced the goal of providing skillful care to babies in need of resuscitation. The authors and contributors are members of the NRP Steering Committee and many have participated in the ILCOR deliberations on the science.
Educational experts help to make this program effective at all levels.
**Features**
The new text is divided into two levels: NRP Essentials and NRP Advanced. Each organization will decide who needs to take each course. The essentials program is limited to four chapters and includes the initial steps of resuscitation up to delivery of positive pressure ventilation. The advanced curriculum is 11 chapters and includes all aspects of neonatal resuscitation including intubation, alternative airways, chest compressions, vascular access, and the administration of medications. There are also three supplemental chapters on human factors, resuscitation outside the delivery room, and quality improvement programs. Also new to this edition is a link to a resuscitation quality improvement (RQI) program for self-directed simulation-based learning. There are no references except for those included with the CoSTaR document appended at the end of the book.
This is THE text for learning neonatal resuscitation in the United States. It is updated according to the latest science every five years by a very knowledgeable and committed steering committee of the AAP a
