Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)

 

This course promotes an evidence based approach to care of the newborn at birth in a Hospital based facility.  It focuses on effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery.  We provide an adaptation of the NRP program which includes hands-on-simulation and debriefing that focuses on leadership, communication and team-work skills.

 

 

 

 

 

The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program

 

This program focuses on the post-resuscitation/pre-transport stabilization care of sick infants. S.T.A.B.L.E. stands for the six assessment and care modules in the program: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood pressure, Lab work, and Emotional support. A seventh module, Quality Improvement stresses the professional responsibility of improving and evaluating care provided to sick infants.
