The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program Learner Course

The S.T.A.B.L.E program is a six assessment and care module program that includes: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood pressure, Lab work, and Emotional support. The program is designed for the period following resuscitation of the newborn until care is transferred to the neonatal transport team or members of the neonatal ICU team. This mnemonic-based tool focuses on the post-resuscitation care of sick neonates including physical assessment, problem recognition and patient management. The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is a concise, directive tool to help maternal/child healthcare providers to organize the myriad of details and interventions necessary to provide care to a sick and/or premature infant. The program has also evolved to serve as an orientation tool for the neonatal ICU.
