NEONATAL RESUSCITATION PROGRAM (NRP)

Duration: 2 Days
Course Fee: ?2999
Mode of Training: Classroom / Online (as applicable)
Target Audience: Healthcare Professionals Involved in Newborn Care
Offered By: Skillversity

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is a focused training course designed to equip healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and skills required to resuscitate and stabilize newborns during the immediate post-birth period. The program emphasizes evidence-based resuscitation techniques, effective ventilation, airway management, and coordinated team response. The training follows current neonatal resuscitation guidelines and combines theoretical instruction with hands-on practice.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the NRP course are to:

Enhance early recognition of newborns requiring resuscitation
Develop proficiency in neonatal airway management and ventilation
Strengthen skills in performing effective neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Improve understanding of neonatal physiology during transition at birth
Train participants in the appropriate use of resuscitation equipment
Promote effective teamwork and communication during neonatal emergencies
