In this training, you will learn about how a neonate's lungs work and how they get oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. You will also learn about how the heart and lungs work together to keep the neonate healthy, as well as the unique vulnerabilities of neonates and the importance of providing appropriate respiratory support.
Learn about common congenital defects and pulmonary diseases affecting neonates, including their causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options.
This training course will cover the key concepts of pulmonary mechanics in neonates, including the mechanics of breathing, lung volumes and capacities, and respiratory system compliance and resistance. You will gain a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and considerations related to neonatal respiratory support.
You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the causes and symptoms of respiratory distress in neonates and explore the different respiratory support options available, including oxygen therapy and heated high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) techniques. By the end of this training, you will have enhanced your knowledge and skills to provide respiratory support for neonatal patients in distress.
In this training module, you will learn about the fundamentals of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for neonatal patients. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the indications and contraindications for NIV, the different types of NIV modes, and the principles of NIV management in neonates. By the end of this training, you will have enhanced knowledge and skills around effective non-invasive respiratory support for neonatal patients.
This training course covers neonatal respiratory failure and airway management, including the causes and symptoms of respiratory failure and different airway management techniques such as intubation and mechanical ventilation. By the end of this training, you will have gained knowledge around providing effective airway management for neonatal patients.
This training course covers the fundamentals of neonatal invasive mechanical ventilation, including indications, contraindications, different modes such as pressure and volume control, and management principles. Enhance your knowledge and skills for effective invasive mechanical ventilation in neonatal patients.
After this training, you will be able to recall how airway length, diameter, and resistance relate to the neonate’s control of breathing, describe how airway anatomy of the neonate differs from that of adults, compare the respiratory mechanics of the neonate to their pediatric and adult counterparts, and describe the symptoms of respiratory distress in the neonate.
In this training, you will learn about the inherent airway protection mechanisms of neonates, the ventilator-related risk factors that contribute to lung injuries in neonate, the typical causes and effects of chronic lung disease in neonates, and how intubation and pneumothorax relate to airway trauma in neonates.
After completing this course, you will be able to describe the criteria for successfully separating neonates from mechanical ventilation, identify how sedation and analgesia may affect the weaning process for neonates, describe the relationship between inadequate oxygenation and separating neonates from mechanical ventilation, describe how inadequate ventilation may affect the weaning process for neonates, and describe how hemodynamic instability may affect the weaning process for neonates.
In this training, you learn about the definition of unplanned extubations, methods of confirming endotracheal tube (ETT) placement, factors contributing to ETT malpositioning, the consequences of unplanned extubation, and methods for reducing unplanned extubations.
After completing this course, you will be able to define relevant terminology, describe first steps to take in the early planning for extubation, describe methods used in the weaning process, list criteria used for the assessment of extubation readiness, and describe the use of noninvasive ventilation post-extubation.
