Abstract
Japan Society of Perinatal and Neonatal Medicine has started Neonatal Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (NCPR) Program since July 2007 based on Japanese guidelines for neonatal resuscitation following CoSTR2005. For the last three years 1,246 instructors were brought up, and 18,786 health care providers attended training course of NCPR in Japan. There are two big problems in this project. First is the regional imbalance of students attending training course around Tokyo and Osaka, which are the training sites for instructors. Secondly, there is a large difference in activity between instructors. Especially instructors with background of obstetrics are not so active as those of pediatrics. We have the plan to expand the two training sites to 7 in 2010 and to 10 by 2012. We are now preparing ring for NCPR guidelines 2010 based on CoSTR2010.
