Module 1: Why we ventilate neonatal patients

Neonatal Anatomy and Physiology

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.

Access Training

Congenital Defects and Pulmonary Diseases

Learn about common congenital defects and pulmonary diseases affecting neonates, including their causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options.

Access Training

Pulmonary Mechanics of the Neonates

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.

Module 2: How we ventilate neonatal patients

Neonatal Respiratory Distress and 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.

Access Training

Fundamentals of Neonatal Non-invasive Ventilation

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.

Access Training

Neonatal Respiratory Failure and Airway Management

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.

Access Training

Fundamentals of Neonatal Invasive Ventilation

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.

Access Training

Module 3: What happens to the patient during therapy?

Evaluating Patient-Ventilator Interactions During Neonatal Ventilation

This training module covers understanding the effects of ventilation on the neonate and how to react to changes in patient conditions. You will also learn about providing adequate care to neonatal patients with these conditions during ventilation. Enhance your knowledge and skills to provide effective ventilation therapy and optimal patient-ventilator interactions.
