Help your students learn the principles and skills of respiratory care for neonates, infants, and children! Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care, 6th Edition provides a solid foundation in the assessment and treatment of respiratory disorders in children. Clear, full-color coverage simplifies the concepts of respiratory care while emphasizing clinical application. Reflecting the changing face of this profession, this edition unpacks care strategies with coverage of the newest treatment algorithms, interventions, mechanical ventilation technologies, and more. This text is also an excellent study tool for the NBRC’s Neonatal/Pediatric Specialty examination.

    • NEW! Logical, easy-to-use organization divides the content into three sections of 1) Neonatal, 2) Pediatrics, and 3) Neonatal and Pediatric combined, mirroring the academic approach of most respiratory care programs.
    • NEW! Updated content reflects the new matrix for the 2020 NBRC Neonatal/Pediatric Specialty (NPS) exam.
    • NEW! Assessment Questions at the end of each chapter are updated to reflect the changes to the 2020 NBRC exam.
    • NEW! Additional treatment algorithms of care are added to relevant chapters.
    • Authoritative, evidence-based content covers all of the major topics of respiratory care for neonates, infants, and children, including both theory and application, with an emphasis on an entry-level BS degree.
    • Nearly 500 full-color illustrations — plus clear tables and graphs — make it easier for students to understand key concepts.
    • Case studies include a brief patient history and questions for each, showing how concepts apply to the more difficult areas of care for neonatal and pediatric disorders
    • Complete test preparation is provided through coverage of all the content in the matrix for the 2020 NBRC neonatal/pediatric specialty (NPS) credentialing exam.
    • Learning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter break down key content into measurable behaviors, criteria, and conditions.
    • Key Points at the end of each chapter summarize the more important information in a bulleted format.
