NRP – Neonatal Resuscitation Program

What is NRP?

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is an evidence-based training course developed by the NHSF/PHA. It is designed to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills needed to manage the critical first moments of a newborn’s life—especially in cases of birth asphyxia, respiratory distress, or cardiac arrest.

The latest NRP Guidelines emphasize a team-based, hands-on approach and updated clinical protocols to improve newborn outcomes during and after resuscitation.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the physiology of the newborn transition at birth
• Perform effective neonatal resuscitation using the NRP algorithm
• Provide positive pressure ventilation (PPV) and chest compressions when needed
• Administer emergency medications like epinephrine via appropriate routes
• Work efficiently in a neonatal resuscitation team
• Recognize when to escalate care to advanced neonatal life support
