Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
|
|
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 Neonatal Resuscitation Program is an
educational program that introduces the
concepts and basic skills of neonatal
resuscitation. Completion of the program
does not imply that an individual has the
competence to perform neonatal
resuscitation. Each hospital is responsible
for determining the level of competence and
qualifications required for someone to
assume clinical responsibility for neonatal
resuscitation. |
