Description:
It is essential all healthcare providers caring for children have the most current knowledge and information about neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In 2015, the American Heart Association (AHA) published updated guidelines for the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). These updates are designed to guide the cardiopulmonary resuscitation practices of neonatal patients. The resuscitation of children is much different when compared with adult resuscitation; therefore, it is imperative healthcare providers be competent in the most current resuscitation standards. This module is to provide the user with the didactic knowledge of neonatal life support.
