The latest edition of the NRP test published in May 2011. The format is similar to previous editions and is intended to give the basic approach to resuscitation of the newborn. The objectives of the text are to standardize care of the newborn. On completion of the text one will then be able to take the online test prior to the practical course scenarios given in a live class. Fortunately the old lecture format for the knowledge section of NRP certification is a thing of the past.
The positives:
Basic building block approach
Simple concise language
Controversies discussed
Science and research based on best evidence
DVD with book gives great examples
More emphasis this time on communication and rehersals.
Negatives:
This will not replace Mark Twain or Jane Austin as great writing
May be tedious for those who have taken the course before
Still teaches intubation skills which are difficult to learn by models.
The authors deserve credit for updating a classic text that is required reading for those taking the initial or renewal course in NRP.

Whenever a new edition comes out, I like to purchase my own for constant review and referral during
the years it is current. The DVD that comes with this book has helpful reenactments to help visualize the flow chart in most situations. As true in previous editions, the book is layed out in such a way to promote easy understanding and reinforcement.
This edition definitely is worth buying due to the new changes. It's just not the same old same.
Further, the time it took to get the book and the condition were both excellent.
