This unique training presents Neonatal Resuscitation in the midwifery model of care. This is like no other class you have taken!! Instructor, Karen Strange, is a Certified Professional Midwife, with 18 years of experience doing the work she will train you to do. She thoroughly covers the American Academy of Pediatrics / American Heart Association Neonatal Resuscitation Program. Her classes include specific information that applies to the out-of-hospital setting.
Unlike any other course you will find on this subject Karen's instruction comes from the perspective that a newborn is both conscious and aware of their surroundings. Recent research shows that newborns are conscious beings, aware of what is happening to them and securing memories even in this preverbal stage that can last a lifetime.
Karen will teach you about physiologic cord closure, neonatal transitional physiology, and a new paradigm from www.cordclamp.com and how to support babies during those precious two hours immediately after birth, from birth to bed.
