Clinical Focused Microcourses

Reducing Imposed Work of Breathing in Neonatal Stabilisation (IWOB1)


Description

This course provides an introduction to key strategies and interventions aimed at reducing the imposed work of breathing and improving overall stabilisation in neonates. Participants will gain a solid understanding of the basic principles of respiratory support, with a focus on practices that contribute to better outcomes in neonatal care.


The course covers essential aspects of neonatal respiratory support, including the use of appropriate ventilation techniques, selecting and using respiratory equipment effectively, and recognising the importance of early intervention. Additionally, the course emphasises the value of teamwork in neonatal care, highlighting how effective communication and collaboration among healthcare providers can make a significant difference in the care of neonates.


This course is suitable for healthcare professionals involved in neonatal care, including:

  • Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Nurses: Who are looking to build on their knowledge of respiratory support strategies and enhance their practical skills in neonatal stabilisation.

  • Paediatricians and Neonatologists: Who are interested in staying up-to-date with the latest developments in neonatal respiratory support and improving collaborative practices in neonatal care.

  • Medical Students and Junior Doctors: Who are considering a specialisation in neonatology or paediatrics and want to develop a strong foundation in neonatal respiratory management.
