Update for Canadian NRP providers: A case-based review

Abstract

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Neonatal Task Force reviews available resuscitation science every 5 years and develops guidelines which are integrated into educational programs such as the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). The most recent ILCOR Neonatal Task Force consensus guidelines were published in October 2015. The Canadian Paediatric Society's NRP Steering Committee has reviewed ILCOR guidelines alongside the 7th edition (2016) NRP materials. Using a case-based approach, this practice point highlights the main changes relating to the delivery of NRP, within the Canadian context.
