Mastering Resuscitation Skills for the NICU
The Resuscitation in the NICU course, a new offering from the American Academy of Pediatrics, provides a deep dive into managing neonatal resuscitation in the NICU environment, including respiratory and cardiovascular compromise, cardiopulmonary arrest, and post-arrest care. This blended learning course combines self-paced, True Adaptive eLearning modules with a hands-on Instructor-Led Event to enhance team performance, ensuring improved coordination and communication during high-stakes events.
True Adaptive eLearning Modules
The course delivers personalized knowledge-building modules to enhance NICU provider’s resuscitation skills:
- Introduction to Resuscitation in the NICU Course
- Respiratory Compromise
- Cardiovascular Compromise
- Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Post Arrest Care
- Improving Team Performance
Hands-On Instructor-Led Event (ILE)
Immersive, instructor-led sessions using simulation to provide a realistic and psychologically safe environment for participants to practice and integrate cognitive, technical, and behavioral skills. Emphasis is placed on procedural accuracy, clinical decision-making, and patient safety through guided debriefing and reflective discussion.
Core Resuscitation Skills Practiced:
- Thoracentesis
- Pericardiocentesis
- Synchronized Cardioversion
- Defibrillation
- Intraosseous Line Placement
Completion and Continuing Education
By successfully completing the course, participants will earn Continuing Education (CE) credits and receive a certificate of completion and eCard. The knowledge gained in this course is aimed at improving confidence and skills needed to perform acute resuscitation for NICU patients. View full CME statement.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) occurs up to ten times more frequently in the NICU than in the delivery room—
