The S. T. A. B. L. E. Program Instructor Manual - 7th Edition

The S.T.A.B.L.E. program provides essential guidance on post-resuscitation and pre-transport stabilization of sick newborns for healthcare providers in all settings. Focused on practical neonatal care, it emphasizes patient safety, prevention of adverse events, and family-centered support. The program covers six core assessment and management parameters—Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood Pressure, Lab Work, and Emotional Support—plus a seventh module on Quality Improvement, which highlights professional accountability and evaluation of care.
