GENERAL INFORMATION Course Description Establishing effective ventilation is the key to nearly all successful neonatal resuscitations. Community medical providers have few opportunities to ventilate the newborn in crisis; yet, airway skills are required when the newborn presents with respiratory difficulty. This 90-minute skills course, conducted monthly at the University of Washington, is intended for licensed healthcare professionals who are responsible for managing the newborn s airway at birth. Attendees will review neonatal airway anatomy indications and proper technique for positive pressure ventilation using a bag and mask and T-piece resuscitator indications and proper technique for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement indications and proper technique for endotracheal intubation This is not a certification course. Attendance does not certify skills or guarantee competence at neonatal airway skills or management. Who Should Attend Physicians Nurses Respiratory Therapists Nurse Practitioners Midwives Emergency Medical personnel Course Location University of Washington Health Science Building Course Objectives Participants will be able to: Identify anatomical landmarks important to assisted ventilation techniques of the newborn. State indications for positive pressure ventilation during neonatal resuscitation and demonstrate proper technique for bag-and-mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement, and use of the T-piece resuscitator. Assess the effectiveness of positive pressure ventilation and demonstrate corrective actions to improve delivery of ventilation intervention when necessary.
