Module 4

Special Situations and Delivery Room Readiness

Navigate the meconium management trap, deliver the preterm infant's first 60 seconds correctly (plastic wrap, 30% FiO2, right-wrist pulse oximetry), select the right ETT and laryngoscope blade by weight, dose epinephrine and flush volumes safely for VLBW infants, and distinguish the 10- vs 20-minute cessation thresholds.

Module 5

Thermoregulation and Skin Care

Understand why preterm infants lose heat through all four mechanisms (evaporation, conduction, convection, radiation), apply the plastic-wrap-before-drying golden hour protocol, master servo-control versus manual incubator modes and the fever-masking trap, score skin condition with the NSCS, and manage CHG, adhesives, and the open crib transition safely.
