Neonatal Resuscitation Program
Description of Materials

Now with more flexibility. More interactivity. More evidence-based recommendations. More powerful teaching and learning solutions.

The new, extensively updated Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) offers a rich array of teaching and learning aids based on the 2005 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/American Heart Association (AHA) “Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care: Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines.”

All program components reflect the AAP/AHA guidelines’ increased emphasis on evidence-based treatment recommendations, as well as the new International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) evidence-based consensus on science.

In response to needs-assessment findings, the new NRP is designed for optimal instructor and student flexibility. The program’s diverse multimedia resources—including its revised and enlarged core text, an all-new interactive DVD, video-based scenarios and demonstrations, slide sets, and more—accommodate varied learning styles.

Program-wide reinforcement of the Key Points at the heart of the new NRP fosters a coherent learning experience.

Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 5th Edition

Includes interactive multimedia DVD!

Suitable for independent study or use in an instructor-led course, this innovative resource delivers diverse multimedia tools in one value-packed package.

The NRP Textbook features new lessons on resuscitating preterm babies and ethical issues, 7 extensively revised lessons, updated Key Points sections, case scenarios for each major resuscitation technique, color photos, new Megacode and other performance checklists, and much more. It is available in English and Spanish editions. English version of DVD-ROM is included in both the English and Spanish textbooks.

The text is packaged with an all-new companion DVD-ROM (for use on a Mac or PC) that brings higher levels of interactivity and involvement to the learning process. Multi-decision point scenarios enable the student to direct the course of treatment simulations. Randomly generated clinical problems and outcomes offer varied learning challenges.

The DVD-ROM also includes dynamic video footage of actual resuscitations, laryngoscopic camera footage, and animated 3-D demonstrations. A DVD-based presentation builder lets instructors enrich classroom and other presentations with high-impact video clips.
