NRP Module 2 A NRP vs TA NRP 1080p

NRP Clinical Mastery — Module 2: A-NRP vs TA-NRP: Choosing the Right Configuration Before you prime a circuit or place a cannula — you need to understand which NRP configuration your program is using. And why. The wrong choice is not a minor error. It is a program-level failure. Module 2 of the NRP Clinical Mastery Series breaks down the two primary NRP configurations in clinical practice — Abdominal NRP (A-NRP) and Thoracoabdominal NRP (TA-NRP) — and introduces a third technique that most NRP education does not yet address: combined heart-lung procurement under A-NRP with thoracic vascular isolation. What you will learn: — A-NRP: target organs, peripheral cannulation strategy, aortic isolation, and why this is the configuration for most US programs — TA-NRP: central cannulation via sternotomy, cardiac surgery team requirements, and the cerebral exclusion verification standard that is non-negotiable before pump flow begins — Combined heart-lung procurement under A-NRP: the DTA clamp sequence, azygous and SVC control, delayed IVC clamping, and how this differs from TA-NRP at the bedside — The three questions every program must answer before selecting a configuration — Why NRP configuration is a program-level policy decision — not a bedside call Who this is for: Perfusionists, ECMO specialists, transplant coordinators, surgical trainees, cardiac surgeons, and program directors building or running NRP capability in DCD organ recovery programs. This is Module 2 of the NRP Clinical Mastery Series — a 10-module clinical training program built by Tom Ferry, BS, CCP, board-certified cardiovascular perfusionist with 20 years of experience in cardiac surgery, ECMO, normothermic regional perfusion, and transplant medicine. ───────────────────────────── FULL MODULE ACCESS ───────────────────────────── Full-length module and complete series available at: payhip.com/MedProPrintables ───────────────────────────── CLINICAL LIBRARY ───────────────────────────── NRP Black Book 2026 — payhip.com/b/kfKbw ECMO Program Blueprint 2026 — payhip.com/b/2DjIy Full clinical library — payhip.com/MedProPrintables ───────────────────────────── ABOUT THE AUTHOR ───────────────────────────── Tom Ferry, BS, CCP is a Certified Clinical Perfusionist and founder of Central Coast Perfusion LLC.
