These are for novice and/or experienced healthcare providers with a current and unexpired American Heart Association (AHA) Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and/or American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) course certificate of completion and card who, after successful completion of the testing and evaluation, should be able to do the following with much more confidence:

  • Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult and pediatric patients
  • Perform prompt, high-quality BLS, including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use
  • Recognize and perform early management of respiratory arrest
  • Discuss early recognition and management of ACS, stroke, shock cases (hypovolemic, septic, cardiogenic, neurogenic, obstructive, and anaphylactic), compensated and decompensated shock, upper and lower respiratory disease, interstitial lung disease, and respiratory distress/arrest/failure including appropriate disposition
  • Recognize and perform early management of bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
  • Recognize and perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care
  • Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team
  • Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality, monitoring the patient’s physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team
  • Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance
  • Discuss how the use of a rapid response team or medical emergency team may improve patient outcomes
  • Define systems of care

In addition to these important topics in advanced life support, cognitive and psychomotor skills will be learned through small-group teaching, case scenario practice on a manikin as Team Leader and team members (i.e., hands-on learning), and use of large- or small group short video presentations with Instructor-student interaction (i.e., engage students in discussion). After the testing and evaluation is completed by each student, the following will be demonstrated proficiently:

  • Systematic approach
  • High-quality BLS
  • Airway management
  • Rhythm recognition
  • Defibrillation
  • Intravenous (IV)/intraosseous (IO) access (information only)
  • Use of medications
  • Cardioversion
  • Transcutaneous pacing
  • Team dynamics

Students will practice the application of these and other skills in simulated cases and will practice both Team Leader and team member roles.

Please call us to sign up for your classroom-based or out-of-site “code blue” or “code white” mock testing and evaluation for your medical and clinical team!

ILCOR:

  • The NRP Begins with the International Liason Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)
  • ILCOR is a mutli-national forum that reviews and shares scientific data on resuscitation every 5 years.

Where Does NRP Come From?

  • The international scientific community of ILCOR identifies knowledge gaps regarding resuscitation.
  • In the United States, the American Heart Association (AHA) oversees the writing of the “Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) & Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).”
  • The Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines are a section within this AHA document. The document is reprinted in the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation.
  • People refer to “NRP Guidelines”, bu they are actually AHA guidelines.

NRP Provider Course:

  1. Knowledge (textbook self-study, eSim and online examination).
  2. Skills (Performance Skills Stations and Integrated Skills Station).
  3. Teamwork and communication (Simulation and Debriefing).

Audience:

  • NRP is designed for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiovascular emergencies in neonates. It is for healthcare professionals who need to know how to perform CPR, as well as other lifesaving skills, to neonates in a wide variety of in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings. This includes personnel in neonatal emergency response, emergency medicine, obstetric medicine, and especially neonatal intensive care and critical care units.

Who Takes the NRP Provider Course?

  • The NRP Provider Course is designed for health care providers involved in any aspect of neonatal resuscitation.
  • The course may be modified for out-of-hospital providers who desire in-depth training specific to neonatal resuscitation.
  • The NRP Provider course is most useful to participants who have delivery room experience or have seen healthy team newborn deliveries.

The NRP Online Examination:

  • The online exam is required before participants attend the classroom portion of the NRP course.

  • The hands-on course must be attended within 90 days of completing the online examination.

  • The instructor can see who has completed the online examination by looking at the class roster prior to the course.

  • The fee for the online examination can be managed in several different ways.

eSim - An Online Simulation Exercise (7th Edition NRP course):

  • eSim is required before the classroom portion of the NRP course and allows learners to practice textbook knowledge and decision-making skills in a virtual 3-D environment.

  • Because learners arrive at the in-person course having already practiced NRP steps in sequence, more time is available during the course to improve hands-on skills and work on teamwork and communication.

The In-person Portion of the Provider Course at PDRE Includes 3 Components:

  1. Performance Skill Stations, PSS (optional)

    • PSS provide an opportunity to practice or review technical hands-on skills with instructor assistance.

    • The Instructor determines which PSS need to be included in their course based on their assessment of learners’ needs.

    • Even experienced learners benefit from this skills review and practice.

  2. The Integrated Skills Station, ISS (required)

    • The ISS evaluates each learner’s ability to demonstrate the steps in the NRP Flow Diagram in proper sequence, using proper technique, and without assistance from the instructor.

  3. Simulation and Debriefing (required)

    • This provides a safe setting in which to integrate cognitive and technical skills and focus on team communication and safety.

    • Debriefing is where the learning occurs, because learners reflect on the experience and critically evaluate their actions.

    • Simulation training depends on good methodology, not technology, such as expensive simulators.

What is the Length for PDRE’s NRP Provider Course?

  • NRP allows a great degree of flexibility in planning the course agenda.

  • The length of the course is dependent on the number of learning objectives and the skill level of learners.

  • The curriculum you are about to se typically takes 3 to 4 hours, depending on the experience and learning objectives of participants.

Continuing Education (CE) Credits:

  • Learners are offered continuing education credits for passing the online examination and eSim cases.

  • Credit is provided for physicians, nurses, respiratory care practitioners, emergency medical service personnel and other medical professionals.

Certification:

  • Students who successfully complete the NRP Course will receive a NRP Provider Course Completion Card, valid for two years:

    • Any child care providers applying for licenses on or after July 1, 2020, must have taken the LPP training as part of their Preventive Health and Safety Training.
  • Lead Poisoning Prevention Curriculum Key Topics
    • Why Is Lead Poisoning an Issue?
      • One of the most common and preventable environmental illnesses among 1-6 year olds
      • In CA, blood testing at 5 mcg/dL is considered elevated, but there is no safe level
    • Health Effects of Lead Poisoning
      • Children are more vulnerable to its toxic effects
      • Lead can limit a child’s intellectual & physical development
      • Anemia and lead poisoning may occur together
    • How Do I Know If a Child is Poisoned?
      • Most lead-poisoned children do not look or act sick
      • Testing is the ONLY way to know
      • Blood lead tests should be done at 12 & 24 mo in publicly funded programs (e.g., Medi-Cal, CHDP, WIC)
      • All other children should be assessed at every well child visit to healthcare provider up to age 6
    • Common Sources of Lead
      • Paint in homes built before 1978
      • Chipping, peeling paint and house dust

      • Water from wells or from pipes that contain lead
    • What Can Providers Do to Protect Children?
      • Give parents/guardians information, encourage screening (HSC 1596.7996 requires child care centers and family child care to give parents lead poisoning info)
      • Promote good nutrition
      • Reduce lead exposure in your facility
    • Reducing Environmental Exposure to Lead
      • Regularly wash surfaces, toys, pacifiers, etc.
      • Check toys & equipment for poor condition of paint

This Community Partnership Agreement is between the Trustees of the California State University on behalf of California State University San Marcos (CSUSM/CSU) and Palm Desert Resuscitation Education LLC (PDRE).

It is an opportunity for prospective students and interns to join the Partnership for Academic Internships and Service Learning Program.

General Partnership Criteria:

The following general partnership criteria applies to all off-campus academic learning partnerships with the California State University (CSU). Additional program criteria may apply and is indicated in the program section.

  • Provide students with on-site orientation that includes, but is not limited to an overview of the organization's programs, policies, procedures and clients served; the service or work the student will be performing; placement expectations, including attire and professional conduct; specific training; and, information about any potential hazards or risks.
  • Provide student supervision.
  • Identify activities or work that may pose a health or safety risk. In the event that additional unforeseen risks become apparent, the organization must communicate in a timely manner all risk-related concerns to the CSU. Palm Desert Resuscitation Education LLC (PDRE) and its affiliated organizations may be required by California law to obtain a student's fingerprints and submit them to the Department of Justice, and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for a criminal background check. If required, our organization may have responsibility to:
    • Determine whether such fingerprinting is required;
    • Obtain the student's fingerprints;
    • Obtain criminal background clearance from the appropriate agency; and, incur the cost of fingerprinting.

Site Requirements and Safety Information:

In order to create a positive, safe and valuable out-of-classroom learning experience, CSU, PDRE and its affiliated organization faculty, students, college staff and community partners must work together as a team to make the most of the experience and manage the unique risks that exist. There is insurance available to protect CSU as well as the learning site, if the proper agreement is in place. Students can avoid unsafe situations when everyone is familiar with the placement details and a proper risk assessment has been completed. This risk assessment is not intended to prohibit educational experiences that may seem “too risky,” but rather to find ways to reduce the amount of risk and liability exposure, so that the off-campus learning opportunity is a safe, healthful and fulfilling educational experience for all parties involved. The public health interns and students will receive safety training pertaining to potential risks associated with their duties.

Additionally, some requirements will incur cost; in the majority of cases, this will be the responsibility of the public health interns and students.

  • Background Check (e.g. fingerprinting/livescan, driving record)
  • Computer Literacy
  • CPR Certification
  • Driver's License
