Neonatal Resuscitation Program Reference Chart

Quick, one-stop guide to neonatal resuscitation (NRP) steps. Great take-along for students in training. Size: 4" x 6"

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is an educational program jointly sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA). This updated edition reflects the 2015 AAP/AHA Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care of the Neonate. Full color.

The WHO technical specifications for neonatal resuscitation devices were developed based on existing international standards evidence-based publications from reliable sources and field expert experience. For equipment without prior technical specifications recommendations were made based on a literature research depending on quality and significance of evidence. The purpose of WHO technical specifications for Neonatal resuscitation devices: is to provide a minimum standard baseline to meet the increasing demand to procure good quality affordable accessible and appropriate neonatal resuscitation devices. The specifications are intended to support policy-makers managers procurement officers manufacturers regulators and nongovernmental agencies especially in low- and middle-income countries to select procure use reprocess and decommission appropriate neonatal resuscitation equipment. The end goal is to save the children particularly in low-resource settings.

The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is a neonatal education program that focuses on the post-resuscitation/pre-transport stabilization care of sick newborns. S.T.A.B.L.E. stands for the 6 assessment parameters covered in the program: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood pressure, Lab work, and Emotional support for the family. The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is designed to provide important information about neonatal stabilization for maternal/infant healthcare providers in all settings - from community hospitals and birth centers, to emergency rooms and hospital environments.

The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

This guide has been developed jointly by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and is designed for use by all personnel involved in the care of pregnant women, their foetuses, and their neonates.
