The extensively revised and updated 6th edition of the Neonatal Resuscitation
Program (NRP) textbook and accompanying DVD-ROM are designed in accord with
the programs curriculum changes and sharpened focus on active, hands-on learning.
The text facilitates the newly recommended self-paced learning approach. Self-study
is optimized to help students prepare for the mandatory online examination that
replaces the traditional written test. It also complements the simulations and case-based
scenarios at the heart of the new NRP.
Content updates throughout the text and DVD-ROM reflect the 2010 American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/American Heart Association Guidelines for Neonatal
Resuscitation. Must-know new material includes the latest recommendations across
keyareas of change, including
Revisions in the NRP flow diagram

Use of supplemental oxygen during resuscitation
Use of pulse oximetry
Chest compression procedures
Neonatal
Resuscitation
TEXTBOOK
The book includes a companion DVD-ROM (for use on both PC and Mac), bringing

DVD include multi-decision point scenarios and randomly generated clinical problems
and outcomes.
