This is a new course developed by neonatal & EMS experts (Sarah Curry NNP- NRP, Dusty Lynn RN- NR-P, and Dr. Alix Paget-Brown) that addresses the specific needs of the healthcare provider who may need to resuscitate a newly born in the out of hospital setting. Come join us as we present and encourage a lively discussion about birthing babies outside of the hospital environment. We will then have hands-on skills practice before we put it all together in simulation case studies. Besides our license and pre cite as a neonatologist, Neonatal nurse practitioner and experienced NICU nurse, we are also Paramedics, and are aware of the education provided in programs from Basic to Paramedic and can 100% say that there is a lack of content focused on neonates and pediatrics in general. Our class is specifically tailored to the EMS provider and the pre-hospital environment and every bit of information is pertinent (no fluff if you will).  We are also aware that the fiscal abilities of every agency/department are different and know that the few products we recommend are on the cost effective side or have the ability to qualify for grants. We also discuss safe transport of the neonate and with new regulations going into effect,

Though some studies suggests that 3%–8% of newborns receive respiratory support during the first few minutes of life, only 0.1%–0.3% will require advanced cardiopulmonary interventions at birth. As a pre-hospital healthcare provider, not only are these patient encounters there are few classes, if any hands-on classes that address the specific needs of an EMS provider. The NRC is a four hour in-person class on newborn resuscitation taught by experienced health care providers who have had both newborn resuscitation and EMS experience and is totally focused on newborn resuscitations that may occur outside of the hospital setting.
