Overview
This course will contextualise the participants knowledge of the development and physiology of the respiratory system, and how disruption of normal development leads to neonatal respiratory disorders.
Participants will learn how to diagnose and manage both common and rarer neonatal respiratory conditions and become confident to apply advanced techniques of neonatal invasive and non-invasive respiratory support appropriately. They will discover the possible long-term implications of newborn respiratory disease in childhood and adulthood.
The course is part of a range of short courses spread throughout the academic year which are available both to students who are enrolled on the MSc Applied Paediatrics and as stand-alone CPD programmes for all healthcare professionals.
For participants who have successfully completed the course, the learning outcomes will be:
- Make connections between the disruption of the development and physiology of the neonatal respiratory.
- system and the pathophysiology of neonatal respiratory disorders and formulate appropriate management plans.
- Critically apply advanced techniques in neonatal ventilation, including non-invasive ventilation, high-frequency oscillation and ventilator graphics.
- Anticipate and explain the possible long-term outcomes of neonatal respiratory disease.
- Propose a research question and a research plan that would effectively investigate an issue within neonatal respiratory care.
