Manual of Neonatal Mock Codes

This manual presents a spectrum of training scenarios for first responders in the neonatal unit setting.

Mock codes provide a simulated experience of emergency situations with the intention of developing the technical skill, knowledge, critical thinking and teamwork of neonatal practitioners.

The philosophy underlying a mock code program is to enhance the confidence of caregivers by practicing emergency techniques in a consequence-free environment.

This volume is a landmark contribution to the neonatal literature in that it brings together, for the first time, a compendium of scenarios dealing exclusively with newborns in a variety of acute and critical care situations.

A pocket-sized code card summarises the most crucial points for each mock code providing a handy quick-reference review.
