Course Structure:
NRP is a practical, case-based neonatal resuscitation program that will enhance one’s skills in the evaluation and management of a newborn at birth. Ideal performance is initially demonstrated via video and Instructor. Learning is facilitated by extensive hands-on practice, with each candidate getting several opportunities to participate in simulated clinical scenarios, guided by positive and constructive feedback.
Assessment and Preparation:
A comprehensive self-study program is contained in the 270-page American Academy of Pediatrics Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation and accompanying Multimedia DVD-ROM which is supplied prior to ANLS Course participation. The Multimedia DVD-ROM includes footage of actual resuscitations, laryngoscopic camera footage, interactive scenarios and animated 3-D demonstrations.
