Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP)

Description

The Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP), 9th Edition is a comprehensive learning and reference resource designed to support safe, effective resuscitation of newborn infants across delivery rooms, neonatal intensive care units, and other clinical settings. It reflects current evidence and best practices in neonatal care, emphasizing teamwork, preparation, and timely clinical decision-making during the critical moments after birth.

This edition integrates updates consistent with the 2025 AHA/AAP Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, ensuring learners and practitioners stay aligned with contemporary resuscitation standards. Content is structured to guide readers through assessment, initial stabilization, ventilation, chest compressions, medication use, and post-resuscitation care, with a strong focus on physiology-based resuscitation principles.

The 9th Edition expands its educational scope with enhanced visual learning resources and targeted clinical lessons addressing complex neonatal scenarios. New supplemental content covers resuscitation and stabilization of newborns with congenital heart disease, as well as resuscitation within the neonatal intensive care unit—areas increasingly encountered in modern neonatal practice.

Developed by a multidisciplinary team of neonatal care professionals, this textbook supports consistent training and skill development for physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, midwives, and other healthcare providers involved in newborn care. It is suitable for both structured NRP courses and ongoing clinical reference, helping teams translate evidence-based guidance into confident, coordinated action at the bedside.
