Update on neonatal resuscitation.
Pediatricians and other practitioners who attend deliveries maintain resuscitation skills throughout their careers. NRP certification and continuing education programs (PCEP) have done much to standardize the care a newborn receives in the first minutes after birth. Neonates have benefited tremendously from strong national programs (NRP and PCEP) with great local execution of training modules.
