The program teaches essential resuscitation skills and guidelines for managing newborns in distress or requiring resuscitation at birth. It covers various scenarios such as meconium aspiration, birth depression, and more, emphasizing prompt and effective interventions to improve outcomes for newborns.
Objective of the webinar/Event: The primary objective of an NRP event is to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively resuscitate and stabilize newborns who require assistance at birth.
