Educational Perspectives

The Genesis, Adaptation, and Evolution of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program

Louis P. Halamek, MD*

* Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif

For more than 2 decades, the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has set a national standard and international example for training in the resuscitation of the newborn. The concept of a standardized approach to neonatal resuscitation, based on the best available evidence, was revolutionary in 1987 when the NRP was officially launched. Because the NRP continues to adapt, it remains one of the most successful educational interventions in health care. This article describes its genesis, continuing adaptation, and prospects for evolution in the next decade.
