The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is the most widely distributed and implemented neontatal education program that focuses exclusively on the post-resuscitation/pre-transport stabilization care of sick infants. Based on a mnemonic, S.T.A.B.L.E. stands for the six assessment and care modules in the program: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood pressure, Lab work and Emotional support. A seventh module, Quality Improvement stresses the professional responsibility of improving and evaluating care for sick infants.
