Newborn Resuscitation Guidelines Course

Integrate the evidence-based RECOVER algorithm into your clinical practice and become proficient in the critical transition of newborn puppies and kittens from intra- to extrauterine life. This course moves beyond standard adult CPR to focus on the unique physiological needs of the neonate, where respiratory support is the primary driver of survival. You will gain the clinical confidence to assess vigor, monitor heart rates accurately, and execute the precise ventilation techniques required to save lives in the first moments after birth

Prioritize Ventilation over Circulation

Articulate the physiological rationale for why establishing an airway and providing Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) is the single most important intervention for the non-vigorous neonate.

Implement the 4:1 Compression Ratio

Master the specific technical coordination of alternating four chest compressions to one breath, differentiating this specialized neonatal rhythm from standard adult CPR protocols.

Utilize Heart Rate as a Clinical Compass

Categorize newborns into intervention tiers based on post-natal heart rate to accurately determine when to provide tactile stimulation, escalate to ventilation, or initiate chest compressions.
