Build a strong foundation in neonatal respiratory care with our focused, practical NICU Respiratory Crash Course. In Respiratory 101, you’ll review how to interpret blood gases (ABG, VBG, and CBG), understand permissive hypercapnia, differentiate acidosis vs. alkalosis, practice blood gas compensation, and explore common forms of non-invasive respiratory support. Respiratory 201 takes the next step into mechanical ventilation, breaking down essential respiratory abbreviations, basic starting ventilator settings, and common NICU ventilation modes such as SIMV and PSV/PEEP. Designed for NICU nurses and neonatal providers, this course delivers the key respiratory concepts you need for confident bedside care.
