Dr. Harman Dhaliwal, family practice/OB, and Carrie Wellner, RN, Sleepy Eye Medical Center, recently completed the Neonatal Resuscitation Instructor Program.
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is an educational program jointly sponsored with the American Heart Association (AHA) that introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. The course teaches an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn to hospital staff who care for newborns at the time of delivery, including physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists.
“Having NRP Instructors on staff is vitally important to enhancing the services we provide to our community and is a critical element of our obstetrical and pediatric programs,” said Sue Schweiss, director of nursing. “We can now ensure seamless training of all those concerned with the health of a newborn child. This gives our team the comfort level of knowing that our skills are up-to-date, that every member of the team has received the same training, and we’ll know how each other can work together to provide the best quality care.”
ALSO Instructor certification
In addition to the instructor certification of Dr. Dhaliwal and Wellner in NRP, Dr. James Joyce, family practice/OB, is a certified ALSO instructor. Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) helps physicians and other health care providers develop and maintain the knowledge and skills they need to effectively manage potential emergencies during the perinatal period. ALSO emphasizes labor and delivery room emergencies, but also covers:
•Prenatal risk assessment
•First-trimester bleeding
•Consultant relationships
•Helping parents cope with a birth crisis
