For nearly 30 years, the Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) has helped health care providers acquire the knowledge and skills to perform neonatal resuscitation. Now in its 7th edition, the NRP uses a blended learning approach, which includes online testing, online case-based simulations, and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focus on critical leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. Content updates throughout the text reflect the 2015 American Academy of Pediatric (AAP)/American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care of the Neonate. Must-know new material includes the latest recommendations across key areas of change, including: Timing of umbilical cord clamping, Concentration of oxygen during resuscitation, Use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during and after resuscitation, Management of meconium-stained amniotic fluid, Electronic cardiac (ECG) monitoring during resuscitation, Estimation of endotracheal tube insertion depth, Methods of thermoregulation for preterm newborns. The extensively revised and updated textbook also includes several new features to enhance learning. -- from back cover
