Description of CME Course
The 60 minutes immediately prior to birth and the first 60 minutes after, known as the “Golden Hour,” are critical. Improper care delivered during this timeframe has short- and long-term consequences that negatively affect newborn neurologic development, increase mortality risk and foster malpractice claims. The “Golden Hour” isn’t golden if an unstable fetus becomes an unstable newborn that was not prepared for in advance. Adoption of the current neonatal resuscitation guidelines and recommendations helps prepare perinatal first-responders to coordinate with neonatal second-responders to provide standardized resuscitation. In this two part series, the roles and responsibilities of team members in the early identification of fetuses at risk for resuscitation and the current NRP guidelines are highlighted. A case study and critical thinking drills are included to help apply knowledge into practice.
