New edition! 2015 GUIDELINESThe Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) is an educational program jointly sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Heart Association. The course is designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn to hospital staff who care for newborns at the time of delivery. NRP uses interactive, simulation-based teaching for effective learning.

To pass the NRP course, students must complete eleven lessons:

  • Foundations of Neonatal Resuscitation
  • Preparation for Resuscitation (new in the 7th edition!)
  • Initial Steps of Newborn Care
  • Positive-Pressure Ventilation
  • Alternative Airways: Endotracheal Tubes and Laryngeal Masks
  • Chest Compressions
  • Medication
  • Post-Resuscitation Care (new in the 7th edition!)
  • Resuscitation and Stabilization of Babies Born Preterm
  • Special Considerations
  • Ethics and Care at the End of Life

This course is intended for:

  • neonatal nurses, NICU nurses, mother-baby nurses, physician assistants, and nurse midwives
  • neonatologists and emergency physicians
  • respiratory therapists and EMTs
  • other providers of care for newborns

Seventh-edition program materials reflect the 2015 American Academy of Pediatrics and American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care of the Neonate.
