Neonatal Resuscitation Program
Introduction to the revised Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines: questions and answers to get you started
Abstract
In October, 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) introduced revised guidelines for the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). These revisions affect the practice of neonatal resuscitation as well as the administrative components of the program. This article cannot address every program revision, but introduces the reader to how program changes occurred, guideline revisions that affect practice, and changes in NRP educational tools and resources.
